Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe is on the brink of completing a £15million move to Bournemouth.

The England Under-21s international has agreed personal terms with the South Coast outfit and the deal is expected to go through later this week.

The ECHO understands that Ibe said his goodbyes to team-mates and staff at Melwood today after accepting the opportunity to sign for Eddie Howe’s men.

Ibe’s future at Anfield had looked increasingly uncertain after a disappointing 2015/16 campaign.

Tipped to fill the void created by Raheem Sterling’s move to Manchester City, the former Wycombe Wanderers youngster struggled for form and was unable to hold down a regular starting spot.

There were flashes of brilliance like the winner away to Rubin Kazan and the stunning equaliser at West Brom on the final day of the season.

However, he was dogged by inconsistency and failed to convince Klopp that he merited a place in his long-term plans. Rather than keep Ibe as a squad player Liverpool decided to cash in.

The 20-year-old made 58 appearances for Liverpool following his arrival from Wycombe in the summer of 2011. He was handed his senior debut by Brendan Rodgers on the final day of the 2012/13 season.
