Born on November 14, 2002 in France, Billy Koumetio, the 22-year-old defender, consistently exhibits his skills centre-stage as a central defender for Dundee. Standing at a robust 6ft 4in (1.95m) and weighing a firm 12st 10lb (81kg), No.5 Koumetio is a formidable presence on the pitch. His current market value is approximately £430k, a figure ascertained by Transfermarkt.
Koumetio began his football journey in July 2018 when he joined Liverpool in the Premier League as a trainee. A few years later, he expanded his experience through a series of loan spells. July 2022 saw him transfer on loan to Austria Vienna in the Bundesliga, where he made five league appearances during his debut 2022 - 2023 season.
January 2023 saw his return to Liverpool from Austria Vienna, only to be loaned out again to Dunkerque in French Ligue 2 later in August. During the 2023 - 2024 season with Dunkerque, he successfully made eight appearances in league matches. However, it wasn't long before he found himself on the move once again.
In February 2024, Koumetio transferred from Liverpool to Blackburn Rovers, another Championship club in England, once again on loan terms.
Ever the nomad, Koumetio moved yet again in August 2024, transferring permanently from Liverpool to Dundee in Scotland with the official fee being undisclosed. He has since proven his worth, making 19 league appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season with Dundee. Already featuring in four matches in the current 2025 - 2026 season, he shows no signs of slowing down.
Koumetio has not only demonstrated his defensive prowess but his attacking capabilities too, scoring a goal in two starts at the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee.
Given Koumetio's football journey, one can only guess as to where his boots will land next, but for now, the 22-year-old Frenchman has carved out a niche for himself in Scotland's Premiership, playing for Dundee.
