JORDON IBE hopes working with Jurgen Klopp can help transform into a player of a similar calibre to Robert Lewandowski.

 

Ibe, who scored the winner against Rubin Kazan in the Europa League last week, has been given a chance to prove himself under the Reds boss.

Klopp forged a reputation for developing youth talent during his time at Borussia Dortmund.

One of his success stories was Lewandowski, who has gone on to become a goal machine at Bayern Munich.

And Ibe hopes Klopp can weave his magic in the same way he did with Dortmund.

“He obviously did a great job at Borussia Dortmund," Ibe said as quoted by FourFourTwo.

"The fact that the young players he brought in were a big part of the success is very encouraging for guys like me.

 

Robert Lewandowski has gone on to become one of the most feared strikers in Europe

"Of course, those youngsters at Dortmund didn't just become a little bit better either – some of them, like Robert Lewandowski, have become players who are operating at the highest level in the Champions League. Hopefully he can help me and some of the lads here do the same.

"I'm hoping my attributes – pace and strength and being able to go past people – will suit the way he wants to play and I can get some opportunities."
