Liverpool winger Ibe passes Bournemouth medical ahead of £15m move

Jordon Ibe has agreed personal terms and passed a medical with Bournemouth, according to reports.

The Liverpool winger underwent the test on Wednesday and will now sign with the south coast club for a Cherries record fee of £15million.

The deal is expected to be finalised on Thursday with Ibe to be jetted out to the USA to link up with his new teammates for their pre-season training camp.

Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe identified 20-year-old Ibe as his major target after losing Matt Ritchie to Newcastle United and has reportedly managed to beat Southampton and Watford to the signing.

Ibe will become Bournemouth's most expensive signing, surpassing the £10m the Cherries paid Wolves for Benik Afobe in January.
