Club-record fee for Ibe shows how far Bournemouth have come - Wilson

Callum Wilson has praised Bournemouth's recent signing of Jordon Ibe.

The Cherries paid a club-record £15million to Liverpool for the 20-year-old winger which indicates to striker Wilson that the south coast club have come along in leaps and bounds since he arrived from Coventry City in the summer of 2014.

"When I joined I think it was the record fee at £3m but now it's been blown out of the water and it shows how far the club has come in two or three years," said Wilson.

"The club has grown so much in a short space of time and it will continue to grow. Buying players like that [Ibe] is only going to add strength to the squad.

"He looks a good player and he looks really sharp. He is good to play with and is a good addition to the team."
