Liverpool boss Rodgers: Jordon Ibe really exciting

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has hinted Jordon Ibe will see action against Hull City.

The 19 year-old is on the brink of penning a new Reds deal.

Rodgers said this morning: "He's direct and wants to create goals and score goals, that's how we've worked over the years and it's epitomised by the style of the team to be aggressive and score goals. He's been really exciting, he's wanted to work well, and we missed him - his pace and penetration. He still has a long way to go but he's made some exciting steps.

"He's a very good footballer, he loves football and watches a lot. He also has this natural talent, he's not the type of boy you want to overcoach. He has a beautiful balance, can go either way, is very fast and technique is very clean. He could play as a midfield player. But he loves to be wide, he loves to be in the duel."
