On this date, September 19, we see two players celebrating their birthdays, both of whom are young football talents at Stoke City. Although they are still prospects, these two forwards have managed to shine over the past few years, both in the youth divisions and now in Stoke City's first team.

Considering the level they’ve shown early in the season, it is expected that these players will continue to bring happiness to Stoke City, not only in the present but also in the future.

Lewis Koumas and Emre Tezgel turn 19 years old today.

These two Stoke City players have already had notable sporting careers. Despite their young age, we’ve seen both players stand out remarkably in the early part of the season. At just 19 years old, they have impressed with their competitive mindset and immense sporting talent.

In particular, we can highlight Emre Tezgel, who has been wearing the Stoke City shirt for several years now. He has played more than 60 matches for the club, including both the youth divisions and the first team.

In the current season, Tezgel has been heavily involved, playing 6 matches and scoring 2 goals in over 200 minutes of action so far in the 2024-25 season. He is a fascinating player with a bright future ahead.

On the other hand, there is Lewis Koumas, a fantastic footballer who joined Stoke City this season with high expectations—and he hasn’t disappointed. Previously, he played in Liverpool’s youth teams, where he had only one appearance with the first team at Anfield.

Now, on loan at Stoke City, Koumas has made a great impression, playing 7 matches, scoring 2 goals, and providing 1 assist in over 400 minutes of play. He has been a standout figure in this early part of the season.

This is a very special day for the Stoke City players, celebrated with great enthusiasm, as both of these footballers are recognized for their importance to the team. Looking ahead, the hope is that Emre Tezgel will continue to showcase his high level of performance and that Lewis Koumas will remain with Stoke City for many years to come.
