Ibe desperate for goals

The 19-year-old has replaced Raheem Sterling in the Reds' starting XI following the England international's departure and is keen to start adding to his tally in 2015-16

Liverpool attacker Jordon Ibe is eager to add goals to his game and match Raheem Sterling's performances for the club.

Ibe, 19, has impressed for Brendan Rodgers' men since returning from his loan stint at Derby County in January.

However, despite his fine performances, Ibe is without a goal in 19 appearances for the club and admits that he needs to start finding the back of the net in the wake of Sterling's departure to Manchester City, and has received help from club legend Kenny Dalglish.

"I know there is stuff I need to work on, goalscoring being one of the main things and I came in for extra sessions over summer to get a bit more coaching and practice," Ibe said.

"The first day I came in it was just [academy director] Alex Inglethorpe and me doing some work on shooting and crossing.

"The second day Kenny Dalglish turned up to help. I wasn't expecting that. Alex had fixed it up as a surprise without telling me but I was very happy about it."

About his goalscoring record, Ibe added: "It gets on my nerves at times. I know I put too much pressure on myself but all I can do is hope the first one comes along."

Ibe has replaced Sterling in the Liverpool XI following the England international's £49 million move to Manchester City, and the teenager says that he has stayed in touch with the departed winger.

"I'm still in touch with Raheem and we speak sometimes," he said.

"When people talk about me replacing him it just gives me confidence because he is a great player. I aspire to achieve the things Raheem has because we both came up through the academy."
