The 20-year-old winger joined Bournemouth after Liverpool reportedly agreed a $27 million deal and the Cherries' chief executive Neill Blake praised Ibe as a 'huge prospect' in a statement on the club's official website.

"We've now signed five players this summer, all of whom have an abundance of potential.

"It shows that we're serious about nurturing talent at this football club and we have the long term in mind when we say we want to stay in the Premier League." 

Ibe joined the Liverpool Academy in December 2011 from Wycombe Wanderers and was handed a competitive first-team debut aged 17 against Queens Park Rangers in May 2013.

Ibe made 58 first-team appearances for the Reds, scoring four goals.
