British – Nigeria born Jordon Ibe has fuelled speculation linking him with a move away from Liverpool with his activity on social media.
The 20-year-old winger, left out of the matchday squad for Sunday’s 4-1 home win over Stoke City, subsequently removed all references to the club from his Twitterprofile. His account on the social network has otherwise been dormant for just under a year.
Ibe also posted an image on Instagram, which carried the message: “God has your best interest at heart. When a door closes, you don’t known what God is saving you from.”
A number of supporters, possibly reading too much into Ibe’s online behaviour, have left messages of support and urged him to stay on at Anfield.
Ibe has struggled to hold down a regular spot in Jurgen Klopp’s first team in recent weeks.
The England Under-21 international has not started since Liverpool’s 2-1 extra-time defeat to West Ham United in an FA Cup fifth round replay on 9 February.
Ibe, who joined the club from Wycombe Wanderers’ youth system, has had a chance to impress at Anfield this season, making 35 appearances across all competitions and scoring three goals.
The player was among the players penned down by the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation but later pledge his career to England due to instability of the federation.
