Liverpool starlet Jordan Ibe looks poised to quit the Anfield club following reports the Reds have agreed a £15-million fee with Burnley. 

The winger has battled to win a place in Liverpool’s starting XI following the arrival of manager Jurgen Klopp last term, reports the Daily Mail.

According to reports Liverpool has now accepted a bid from Burnley for the 20-year-old and have subsequently granted the player permission to speak with the Cherries.

Burnley has allegedly won the race for Ibe ahead of the likes of Watford and Southampton, both of whom had expressed interest in the player, only to be dissuaded by the asking fee.

Ibe made just 12 Premier League starts for the Reds last season having broken into the first team two seasons ago following loans at Birmingham City and Derby County.

With Sadio Mane having just joined the Liverpool, the player now appears to have been deemed surplus to requirements.
