Koumetio's only appearance for Liverpool came as a substitute in a Champions League game in December 2020, against FC Midtjylland. He becomes Charlton's second signing of the summer, after Slovakia defender Ivan Mesik joined on Tuesday from Dutch club Heracles Almelo for an undisclosed fee.
Charlton's last result was a 3-1 loss to Swansea on 2026-05-02. With this new signing, Charlton fans will be hoping for a turnaround in their team's fortunes.
