Jordon Ibe completes £15m club record move to Bournemouth

By -
English Premier League side Bournemouth have completed the transfer of Nigeria-born Jordon Ibe from Liverpool for a club-record fee of £15million. The forward is expected to join his team mates for their pre-season training camp in Chicago, USA. Ibe, 20, penned a four-year deal at Vitality Stadium to become the club’s fifth summer signing.



Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake said: “We’re delighted to bring Jordon to the football club. “He played plenty of football with Liverpool last season and we’re looking forward to seeing him to continue to grow now with us, he’s a huge prospect. “We’ve now signed five players this summer, all of whom have an abundance of potential. “It shows that we’re serious about nurturing talent at this football club and we have the long term in mind when we say we want to stay in the Premier League.” The England under-21 international made 41 appearances for the Reds in all competitions last season, including six games in the Europa League as Jurgen Klopp’s side made it to the final. Ibe, who has played four times for England’s U-21, only signed a new five-year deal at Anfield last May, but found it hard to feature regularly under Jurgen Klopp.

CMS Grammar School, Lagos is the oldest secondary school in Nigeria. It was founded on the 6th of June 1859. In honour of its 156th Anniversary here is a brief history of the school. A Brief History of the School One of the major consequences of the advent of European Missionaries and the subsequent exploration of the interior regions of Nigeria was a rise in the establishment of Churches and Schools by the Missionaries. The missionaries had projected that if evangelism was to witness success and progress, education of the citizenry was inescapable. Thus, began the founding of many elementary schools, under the auspices of the CMS Mission and in line with that exploratory pattern. One of the leaders of the CMS Mission, Henry Venn was said to have favoured and encouraged the education of Africans for the African Mission, under a familiar climate. One of the products of that indigenization campaign was Thomas Babington Macaulay, an African and Nigerian who was spotted and picked from

David de Gea - I Want To Join Real Madrid

David De Gea has informed Manchester United that he wishes to join Real Madrid, Goal can reveal. The Red Devils must now determine whether to sell De Gea this summer or to hold the Spain international to the final year of his contract, losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season. The attraction of playing for Spain’s biggest football club combined with the opportunity to return to his home city and residence of his girlfriend were significant factors in De Gea’s decision to leave the Premier League. United’s handling of the 24-year-old in recent years – including Louis van Gaal’s instruction that the club hold off on the offer of a new contract last summer until the incoming manager had time to work with De Gea in person – facilitated Madrid’s approach. It is understood that De Gea’s advisors recommended that the Spaniard spend a further two years in English football before joining Madrid. Their argument was that the Premier League provides the best environment
