This would appear to be a sign that Jordon Ibe is on his way out of Liverpool.
But instead it’s most likely a sign that someone has way too much time on their hands.
Ibe was spotted wearing a West Ham training top in images posted to social media. However, the photos appear to have been doctored.

Possibly the clearest indication that the deal isn’t going ahead is the number one source for West Ham transfers – Jack Sullivan.
The son of Hammers’ co-owner David Sullivan dismissed the Ibe rumour.
The ibe rumours are not true! We are not signing him.

However, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the 20-year-old depart Liverpool in some form this summer, be it a loan or permanent deal. Jurgen Klopp is bound to make changes to the squad in his first summer transfer window as manager, and Ibe could find his starting chances limited at Anfield.
Ibe has been linked with a move to Southampton, as part of a swap deal for Sadio Mane, but once again we should take these rumours with a pinch of salt.
Transfer silly season is fully underway.
