Liverpool have offered pro terms to Billy Koumetio.
The 18 year-old former Lyon junior joined Liverpool's academy as a winger, but has thrived since being converted to centre-half by coaching staff.
Le 10 Sport says Koumetio has done enough to win a pro contract - which has already been tabled to him.
His past season was plagued by a three-month loan groin injury, though he was involved with the first team for their Carabao Cup campaign.
An announcement over Koumetio's commitment is expected in the coming days.
