Liverpool have won the race to sign Wycombe teenage sensation Jordan Ibe. The Reds have beaten a host of other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United and Spurs, to the signature of one of the hottest prospects in the Football League. The 16-year-old, who shot to fame by scoring a wonder strike against Sheffield Wednesday in October, is in his final year at secondary school in South London and will make the move to Merseyside next summer for a fee of around £500,000. It is believed that the League One outfit decided cash in on the teenager before the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) comes into effect at the start of next season. The plan will see tribunals replaced with set tariffs for homegrown players. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Any of you Wycombe fans know much about him?
He has unbelievable tekkers, one of the most skillful players to play for us in a long time now. Despite his age he is also very well built and is very fast, so should cope with one day stepping up to the prem. At the moment he is already league 1 if not pushing championship quality and I'd definitely back him to reach the top one day.
He's top quality IMHO. Very pacey, skilful, has an eye for goal, and has a level head for someone of his age. To be honest i believe this kid is the best young prospect in English football, better than both Suso and Sterling in my opinion. Look forward to seeing him at Anfield
no confirmation as of yet, he is a fantastic player and while i would love to see him at wycombe, i suspect he will leave us
very good player has loads of pace beats defenders easily good shot on him a definate star for the future just a shame we wont see much of him in a wycombe shirt.
Is he the guy who got booked for celebrating with his family? I remember that story from a few weeks back.
bags of potential. Yet another product of our youth system making the step up. Just a shame we wont see him mature in Blues shirt Good luck to the lad though.
Good luck Jordan and thanks for the link Luvgonzo. Funny how you started your crawl with Wycombe and end up with our star.

i really hope we got some add ons in this deal ie appearances and if he makes it for the national team we get more money otherwise we have been robbed by the scousers
best of luck to jorden, i wish he'd have stayed longer. hopefully this will work out best for him, and we get a decent fee for him
