Liverpool got 'perfect' deals for Ibe and Smith

Jordon Ibe and Brad Smith will be monitored closely by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, despite selling the pair to Bournemouth.

Jurgen Klopp claims Liverpool received "perfect" deals in the sales of Jordon Ibe and Brad Smith to Bournemouth.

Both were unlikely to feature much in the first-team this season, with Klopp electing to off-load the pair rather than send them on loan.

Ibe was sold to Bournemouth for £15million in July, before left-back Smith joined the winger at Dean Court in a £6m transfer.

However, Liverpool made sure to include buy-back clauses in both of the deals, in case they flourish at their new Premier League club.
