Liverpool Transfer News: Jordon Ibe Move Considered Amid Arsenal, Spurs Rumours

Liverpool will "listen to offers" for prodigy Jordon Ibe at the end of the season, with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Watford interested in capturing the midfielder.

Greg Stobart of Squawka.com reported the youngster is considering a a move away from Anfield to guarantee increased first-team opportunity and "rebuild his fragile confidence."

However, Squawka noted the Reds are reluctant sellers. Stobart wrote:

"

Ibe is more likely to leave on loan in the upcoming transfer window, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp still hopeful that the 20-year-old can fulfil his potential.

Watford have shown an interest in a loan deal while north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are both monitoring the winger’s situation.

Liverpool are likely to price Ibe out of a permanent transfer, with four years remaining on the £35,000-a-week contract he signed in May last year to reward his breakthrough into the first-team.

The attacking sensation, who can feature on either flank, has impressed when selected by Klopp, and at only 20, the player has plenty of time to morph into the finished product.

Ibe has featured 25 times in the Premier League this term, according to WhoScored.com, and played six games in the UEFA Europa League, scoring once.

Klopp recently dismissed rumours of a rift with Ibe, as quoted by the Press Association (via Sky Sports). 

The manager said: "I heard from somewhere that Jordon has some problems with me or something? Only a few young players can come up, and sometimes they are in the squad, sometimes not. He's still a brilliant, big, big talent which is very good for English football."

Ibe has remained in Klopp's plans throughout the campaign, and it is unlikely the German would not be keen to carry on his development under his personal tutelage.

Raheem Sterling's transfer to Manchester City opened the door to Ibe in the first team, and although the two players are comparable, Ibe is yet to prove his potency or consistency as the Reds attempt to form a championship-challenging side.

A loan would be the best move for Ibe in the summer, and a mid-table Premier League team could offer the winger plenty of opportunities to get minutes under his belt.

Starting at Liverpool will be difficult for the attacker in the next 12 months, but he will not want to throw away the long-term opportunity of working with Klopp as he rebuilds the Merseyside giants.
