Jordon Ibe has joined Premier League side Liverpool.

The 16-year-old, a prodigious talent from Wycombe's thriving youth system, completed his move today after an agreement was reached between the two clubs.

"It's a fantastic move for him," said Gary Waddock. "He's a phenomenal talent which is why we gave him a chance to show what he can do at first-team level.

"Obviously we wanted to keep him, but we didn't want to stand in the way of an opportunity he deserves.

"I have no doubt in my mind that he will go on to become a big star and I will be keeping a close eye on his progress.

"I would like to wish him and his family all the best for the future."

Ibe is the latest in a long line of players who have used their time at Adams Park as a springboard to further their careers, following the likes of Russ Martin (Norwich), Roger Johnson (Wolves), Mike Williamson (Newcastle) and Matt Phillips (Blackpool) to the higher echelons of English football.

The attacker has shot to stardom this season, becoming the youngest ever player to represent the Blues in the Football League and the youngest ever scorer for the club in its 124-year history.

Born in Bermondsey, South London, Ibe arrived at Adams Park as a 12-year-old after being released by Charlton Athletic.

After two superb seasons in the club's youth team, Jordon burst onto the scene in the first team's opening pre-season friendly of the summer, scoring a wonder goal in the 5-0 win at Staines Town.

He made his senior debut in the Carling Cup clash with Colchester United in August, aged just 15 years and 244 days, and scored a stunning individual goal on his first ever professional start in the npower League 1 fixture with Sheffield Wednesday in October.

Just read in the Metro that Man City and Manure were interested in Jordon too. Lets hope he lives up to the hype.

Can the thread title be changed to Jordon please Mods, seeing as that's how his name is spelled?

the chances of these lads making it through are very remote. even the likes of sterling and suso who are probably the most talented of the bunch too will be very lucky to get through.

apparently stirling has got some girl pregnant. if thats true its appalling that a young lad with so much talent isnt focused on his football. its really bad news at seventeen or whatever he is.

So cause he had intercourse with his girlfriend, it means he isn't focused on football?

[el matador]

mate... the kids just turned seventeen.

the club will be worried about this.

[Rabiosa]

I don't see why, many young players have kids, Wilshere,Neymar,Smithies ect, obviously Raheem is younger then them but he seems a great kid and can afford to bring up a baby and rather him have one now then when he's in the first team and it can hinder his play.

these academys just aren't working for me. this nicking of other teams youngsters, just seems wrong. I mean a few back, selling this lad at 19,20 would have kept the club running for a while and the fans would have had something to enjoy. now he's taken after a handful of games to sit in our reserves to fester.
