Could Jordon Ibe be on his way out of Liverpool? Here's a look at the latest transfer headlines from Sky Sports News HQ

Bournemouth have had a £15m bid for England U21 international Jordon Ibe accepted by Liverpool, according to Sky sources.

Ibe, who joined Liverpool from Wycombe Wanderers in 2011, has found first-team opportunities limited under manager Jurgen Klopp and started just 12 Premier League matches last season. 

The 20-year-old, capped four times at U21 level by England, is currently contracted to Liverpool until 2020 after signing a new five-year deal to remain at Anfield last May.

Cook, who was named the Football League's young player of the year in April, is out of contract next summer.
