Liverpool academy chief Alex Inglethorpe is delighted with the emergence of Jordon Ibe.
Inglethorpe wrote for liverpoolfc.com: "Jordon has followed a different path to someone like Raheem Sterling, who we felt could go straight into the first team squad. Jordon's experiences on loan with Birmingham City and Derby County have given him confidence and the experience to play in our first team.
"Jordon is a genuinely lovely lad and he thoroughly deserves his chance. In saying that, Jordon would be the first to admit his career is only just starting and he knows how important it is to keep working hard and improving."
