England to fast-track Jordon Ibe?

England have reportedly made plans to fast-track Liverpool's Jordon Ibe into the senior squad following his recent form.

Ibe has played a key role as a wing-back since returning to Anfield after a loan spell at Derby County, and there are concerns that his performances could see him abandon plans to play for England.

The 19-year-old is eligible to play for Nigeria through his father, and the Daily Mail claims that the Super Eagles are interested in handing a call-up to the youngster.

However, Ibe is now likely to be handed a spot in the England Under-21 squad next month, and he could be involved with the senior squad in the summer as Roy Hodgson looks to avoid losing such an exciting prospect.
