Newcastle, Crystal Palace battling head-to-head for Jordon Ibe

Released Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe is attracting Premier League interest.

Cut loose by the relegated Cherries before the Prem restart, Ibe is still attracting top-flight suitors.

The Sunday Mirror says Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are keen on the winger.

Ibe struggled throughout his stay at the Cherries after joining for £15million in 2016. But that isn't putting off Newcastle and Palace, who are both looking to strengthen their attacking options.

Neither club has huge sums to shell out on transfers this summer and Ibe appeals on that front.

The fact he has Premier League experience is another driving factor, with both Steve Bruce and Roy Hodgson keen to add more quality to their squads

Former England youth international Ibe started at Wycombe before joining Liverpool in 2012.
