​Ibe: Klopp can get the best out of me

Liverpool winger Jordan Ibe is optimistic new Reds manager Jurgen Klopp can develop him into one of the world's best young talents.

Ibe opened his account for the Merseyside club by scoring the winner in their 1-0 Europa League victory over Rubin Kazan last week and hopeful Klopp can continue to get the best out of him.

"He obviously did a great job at Borussia Dortmund and the fact that the young players he brought in were a big part of the success is very encouraging for guys like me," Ibe told Liverpool's official website.

"The youngsters at Dortmund didn't just become a little bit better either - some of them, like Robert Lewandowski, have become players who are operating at the highest level in the Champions League," Ibe said.

"Hopefully he can help me and some of the lads here do the same," Ibe said. "I'm hoping my attributes - pace and strength and being able to go past people - will suit the way he wants to play and I can get some more opportunities".
