Scouting For Liverpool – Three Potential Replacements For Raheem Sterling Including Arsenal Speedster

Jordan Ibe (Liverpool)

Liverpool might look closer to home than afar to find a replacement for Sterling, as the meteoric rise of teenager Jordan Ibe in the last few months might suggest that the winger could become even better than his compatriot. Brendan Rodgers recalled the 19-year-old from a loan spell at Derby County to throw him straight into the Merseyside derby at right wing-back; a game he stood out against the likes of Leighton Baines and Kevin Mirallas winning the Man of the Match. Ibe cemented his place with brilliant displays against Tottenham and Southampton and if only for a knee injury picked up in March against Besiktas, the youngster would have almost certainly nailed down a spot in Rodgers’ starting XI by now.

Barring the same attributes as Sterling with added physical presence and better shooting prowess; Ibe has been touted by many to go further than Sterling. Liverpool fans once hoped for Sterling and Ibe combining down either wing; but if Sterling does leave this summer they can be rest assured that they’ve got a replacement that could potentially outgrow his predecessor among their ranks.
