Jordon Ibe will sign a new five-year contract with Liverpool by the end of this week.

The youngster has agreed terms on a long-term deal, which will keep him at Anfield until 2020.

It is reward for the 19-year-old’s impressive development, with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers confident Ibe can become a significant player for the club in the coming years.

Ibe spent the first half of this season on loan at Derby County in the Championship, but returned to Merseyside in January, and has made eight appearances since, including an eye-catching performance in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

He was cup-tied for Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final loss to Aston Villa at Wembley, but will return to Rodgers’ squad for this weekend’s Premier League trip to West Brom, as Liverpool look to end a disappointing season on a high.

The news will come as another boost to the Reds, who are close to confirming new contracts for both Jordan Henderson and Martin Skrtel.

Henderson’s deal is set to be announced this week, while Skrtel will also be tied to a long-term extension. Both players had just over a year left to run on their current contracts.

Ibe would have been out of contract in 2017, but will now continue his development at Anfield.

Liverpool are also confident of agreeing a new deal with Jon Flanagan, the defender whose contract expires in June.
