Jordon Ibe hoping to fill Raheem Sterling void at Liverpool

Jordon Ibe wishes former Liverpool teammate Raheem Sterling well at Manchester City, but admits that he is eager to now "prove himself" in order to earn a starting spot.

Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has admitted that he is looking to capitalise on Raheem Sterling's departure by earning a regular starting spot next season.

The 19-year-old caught the eye in the Reds' 2-0 victory over Adelaide United on Monday morning, creating numerous chances and setting up James Milner's opener.

Following Sterling's drawn-out switch to Manchester City, which was officially completed last week, Ibe is now eager to make his mark at Anfield over the coming months.

"He's a good player, I'm happy for him," Ibe told Australia's Channel 9. "It's a chance for me to prove myself to the gaffer and hopefully I can get a chance to play in the Premier League."

Liverpool have now won all three of their pre-season friendlies, with games against HJK Helsinki, Swindon Town and a Malaysia XI side still to come.
