Charlie Adam says reported Celtic target had more potential than Raheem Sterling

that he reckons reported Celtic target Jordon Ibe once had more potential to shine than R🌼aheem Sterling did – with all three teammates at Liverpool.

that Celtic can sign 24-year-old Ibe from Bournemouth for nothing this summer, after Bournemouth inf♔orme꧅d the ex-Liverpool star that they would not be extending his £40,000-a-week deal.

Ibe, who cost Bournemouth a whopping £15million () in July 2016, has played just 92 time😼s for Bournemouth in the four years he has spent at the club – scoring just five goals and l⛦aying on only nine assists.

Despite his fall from grace after shining in his early years with Liverpool, Ibe has become a target for Celtic and with the summer promising 😼to see cut-price deals and free transfers galore – Ibe could be signed by Celtic. Adam gave his verdict.

“✅He [Sterling] was unbelievable, you could tell something was different,” “But I actually thought Jordon Ibe should have done better that what he’s done. He had everything, strong, quick, powerful, good player.

“But he just 🌺never fulfilled his potential, whereas Raheem has gone on to a 🐻different level.”

TBR’s view – Would Ibe still be a good signing for Celtic?

What Ibe needs is first-team football, and the confidence in him to be a regular week in, week out. With Mo Elyounoussi likely to return to Celtic, Marian Shved struggling to shine and James Fo🍃rrest the only in-form winger, Celtic need a wide man.

But Ibe would be a strong addition. No, he has not reached his potential but he is still only 24 years of age and has suffered during his time at Bournemouth, like many ot💖her big-money English signings – Dom Solanke for example.

Given ℱplenty of game time to shine at Celtic, Ibe can help the Hoops – and would be a bargain for nothing.
