Howe: More to come from Cherries’ Ibe

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe believes the sky is the limit for Jordan Ibe as the youngster continues to settle into life on the south coast.

The 20-year-old only made the switch from Liverpool in the summer, but has already made his mark playing all but one of Bournemouth’s Premier League games this season.

But with a £15million price tag on his shoulders, the pressure is on for Ibe to find the net for the first time for his new club, with his latest chance set to come when his former Reds side visit the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

And Howe believes it’s only a matter of time before Ibe shows his true potential, slowly but surely adapting to the natural playing style of the Cherries.

“He’s only 20 years old and given time he will make a real difference,” he said.

“There is so much more to come, the potential of the player is limitless and he’s technically and athletically excellent.

“Every player is different, people have to get used to our way of working. But we’ve seen a lot of good things from him, maybe that hasn’t happened consistently, but for a young player that’s the challenge – to change those moments of brilliance into consistent match winning efforts.”
