Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe is stalling on a move to Bournemouth – despite the clubs agreeing a £15million fee.

The Cherries are desperate to bag wonderkid Ibe in what would be a club-record deal, seeing him as a replacement for the recently-departed Matt Ritchie.

But the 20-year-old is keen to hear other offers before committing to the south coast, with West Brom and Championship side Newcastle also interested.

The England Under-21 international is in no rush to sign any contracts and has not ruled out staying put and attempting to break into the Anfield giants’ first team.

Ibe had been seen as Raheem Sterling’s heir in the Liverpool frontline.

But, following Sterling's move to Manchester City last summer, he fell behind fellow promising youngster Sheyi Ojo, 19, in new manager Jurgen Klopp’s pecking order last season.

The Reds managed to negotiate a buy-back price and added a sell-on clause for the talented Ibe, should the transfer to Bournemouth be completed.

Cherries boss Eddie Howe has already seen wideman Ritchie depart to Newcastle in a £12m move, but quickly brought in Le Havre forward Lys Mousset.
