Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers worked with Bournemouth winger Jordon Ibe at Liverpool.

According to The Sun, Leicester City want to sign winger Jordon Ibe from Bournemouth in the summer transfer window.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers worked with Ibe at Liverpool and actually gave the 23-year-old winger his debut at the Reds.

The British tabloid has claimed that the former Celtic manager remains a huge admirer of the Bournemouth star.

Good signing for Leicester City?

Ibe is a very good winger who is only 23 years of age, and if he plays under the right manager and is given regular playing time, then he will flourish.

The 23-year-old has done well for the Cherries since his move in 2016, but the winger could still progress more.

Rodgers knows Ibe well from their time together at Liverpool, and the winger should seriously consider a move to the King Power Stadium if he gets an offer.

Stats

Ibe has made eight starts and 10 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Bournemouth this season, providing one assist in the process, according to WhoScored.

During the 2017-18 campaign, the 23-year-old winger made 22 starts and 10 substitute appearances in the league for the Cherries, scoring two goals and providing six assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
