Liverpool complete Ibe signing

Liverpool have completed the signing of Wycombe Wanderers teenager Jordan Ibe.

The 16-year-old rose to prominence this season when he became the youngest player both to represent and score for Wanderers.

A number of Premier League clubs have reportedly been tracking the attacker but it is the Reds that have captured his signature.

"It's a fantastic move for him. He's a phenomenal talent which is why we gave him a chance to show what he can do at first-team level," said Wycombe manager Gary Waddock.

"Obviously we wanted to keep him, but we didn't want to stand in the way of an opportunity he deserves. I have no doubt in my mind that he will go on to become a big star and I will be keeping a close eye on his progress.

"I would like to wish him and his family all the best for the future."

Ibe has made 11 appearances for Wycombe this season.
