Nigerian football chiefs confirm plans for Liverpool whizkid Jordon Ibe

Nigerian football chiefs have confirmed they're chasing Liverpool superkid Jordon Ibe.

While he's played for England's youth team, Ibe still qualifies for the Super Eagles.

Victor Ikpeba, a member of their technical and development Committee, said: "The federation is looking at Jordon Ibe.

"We need to change our philosophy and bring in these young players to help out especially after we missed out of the Africa Cup of Nations."

Nigeria boss Stephen Keshi said: "I've been told he is a very good prospect with potential to become one of the best wingers in the world.

"I have not had time to watch him in any of his club's games but definitely I will do so this season."
