Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen isn't surprised by Jordon Ibe's success.
After returning from a successful loan spell with Derby County, the 19-year-old has been handed three starts by Brendan Rodgers and has responded with a host of exemplary displays.
"From the first time I saw him I always knew Jordon had the raw talent to go as far as he wants in the game," Allen told Liverpoolfc.com.
"He has been given his opportunity and he has taken it with both hands, which is great to see and it's like having a new signing, which has been brilliant for the whole team.
"He was brilliant against Besiktas and he won us the penalty. To take a lead into the second leg is really important and we did everything we could to get the goal.
"I know [the goal] came late but we kept a clean sheet and made sure they didn't get an away goal, which was an added bonus."
