Liverpool fans have taken to social media to react to footage circulating of a young Jordon Ibe tearing up the Premier League and Europa League during his time at Anfield.
The 26-year-old, who now plays for Turkish outfit Adanaspor, joined the Reds from his boyhood club Wycombe Wanders at the age of 16 and earned comparisons to Raheem Sterling during his time on Merseyside because of his fearless and direct attacking style.
He made his Premier League debut on the final day of the 2012/13 Premier League season as a 17-year-old and assisted Philippe Coutinho for the only goal of the game as Brendan Rodgers' side beat QPR. After impressive loan spells at Championship sides Birmingham City and Derby County, Ibe returned to Anfield in 2015 and featured sparingly during the second half of the 2014/15 season before undertaking a more prominent role as a full-fledged member of Liverpool's first team.

It was that summer that Sterling, who was widely regarded as the Reds' brightest academy graduate in some time, departed Anfield to join Manchester City in a £49m deal, leaving the door ajar for Ibe to impress as he was hailed as his in-house success.
Here's how Twitter users reacted to the compilation of Ibe's highlights at Liverpool.
Despite his obvious talents, the winger failed to establish himself during Klopp's first season at the club and was instead restricted to appearances in the Europa League and League Cup campaigns - netting important goals against Ruban Kazan and Stoke City.
Following the completion of the 2015/16 campaign, Ibe was sold to Bournemouth for a fee in the region of £15m - which given his need for game time, and the offer the Cherries had made for the youngster, seemed like a sensible move for all parties.
However, the former England U21 international struggled under the guidance of Eddie Howe and a series of off-field problems saw his career on the South Coast come to an end after his four-year contract expired in 2020.
Following his release, Ibe made a return to his former club Derby Country before signing permanently with TFF 1. League outfit Adanaspor earlier this year.
