Liverpool winger Ibe taking inspiration from Sterling

Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe is drawing inspiration from Raheem Sterling.

Ibe hopes to follow Sterling into the Reds first team next season.

The 18-year-old told the Liverpool Echo: "Raheem has done extremely well. He's kicked on to another level this season. I'm really happy for him, and hopefully he can continue playing at that level with Liverpool and with England.

"He's someone I look up to, definitely. He plays in a similar position and he's a similar age. He's someone I watch in training and try to learn from in the way he plays.

"I watch Raheem, Daniel Sturridge and the other attacking players in training. I just try to learn from them, improve myself and hopefully if and when I get my chance in the first team I will be ready to take it."
