He signed for Liverpool On 12 December 2011 and On 7th November 2015, he is now rated among Europe's top youngsters to compete for the Golden Boy Award. He is just 19 years old and playing regular first team football with Liverpool. He has scored his first goal for the club which handed them their first win in europe this season. He's none other than Jordon Ibe. He is currently the only winger in the Liverpool squad, yes you read it right! On 16 March 2013, Ibe was called up to the bench for the Premier League game at Southampton.
Three months later, Ibe impressed in his Premier League debut for Liverpool in the final game of the season, starting the match and assisting Philippe Coutinho for the only goal of the match against Queens Park Rangers. He was, however, substituted in the 63rd minute for Fabio Borini after putting on a positive display.
It has been an impressive start for Jordon Ibe's young Liverpool career. He was introduced to the first team early due to his impressive loan spell at Derby County in the 2014-15 season where he scored 5 goals in 20 games and played a vital role in producing decent results for Derby. It was Raheem Sterling who ran the show in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 season on the wings for Liverpool by scoring 9 and 7 goals in respective seasons. Due to his lustrous performances in both seasons especially in his last season which was 2014-15 season, he actually lead the attack from the centre because of lack of options and most specifically should I say, Lack of quality was the reason he played in that role because Suarez was off to Catalonia and Sturridge was too busy getting himself fully fit for the season.
Manchester City came all guns blazing and splashed a staggering 49 Million offer which Brendan Rodgers and neither Owner could reject. And the 2014 Golden Boy award winner has now completed his transfer to the Etihad which left the club finding his replacement with the money got from his transfer. Shockingly, Liverpool never bought a direct replacement for Sterling instead the invested in different positions due to which calling back Jordon Ibe was mandatory and it happened. Liverpool got off to a shaky start in the new season and which left the owners no option but to sack the current manager Brendan Rodgers. It was the fan favorite, one of the world class managers, a Champions League finalist and a 2 time Bundesliga winner with Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp who took charge at Anfield! His appointment as the merseyside club took the football world by shock. He is well known for his clinquant attitude with the players and the fans. Jordon Ibe is one of those players who are enjoying playing under Klopp. He knows where the player fits in the team and what is his preferred position. Ibe had the opportunity to shine under him and he is taking that chance exquisitely by performing under him. Ibe is often criticized by some fans for his poor decision making and lack of game awareness especially in the Rodgers's era.
We all know when a player is out of confidence and nothing seems right for him no matter how hard he tries. It seems as if the confidence is being injected by Klopp to his players and they are now playing with no fear and which is proving vital for the club and most importantly we are seeing good results under him.
We may call it a rejuvenation of Ibe or whatever you like, the man is performing up to his very best and living up to his expectations. His immense pace and incredibly good physique in such young age is proving imperative for him. Most importantly, he has got his head right and making good meaningful passes adding to his much improved game awareness he got his reward by scoring the only goal in Liverpool's splendid win over Rubin Kazan in Europa League which handed the Reds their first win in Europe this season. He has been given immense praise for his improved gameplay by the Journos and former Liverpool players and pundits.
He was rated as the next big thing after Raheem Sterling and we all know he has got what it takes to become one of the best young players in England and Europe. He just has to carry on with the form he is in right now and cement his place in the first team for as long as possible. There' no denying that Ibe is pure quality and he can be utilized spectacularly and the manager is doing just that. We all hope he becomes a star and stay at Anfield for as long as possible.
