JORDON IBE claims he has “no regrets” over his career choices as he prepares to be cut loose by Bournemouth.
The winger, 24, joined from Liverpool for £15million in 2016 but will leave when his Cherries contract expires next month.
That is after a string of off-the-field issues, including being banned from driving after crashing his supercar into a London cafe last summer and then being caught behind the wheel without a licence earlier this year.
Ibe checked into rehab for help with his mental health following that misdemeanour — but found himself in hot water again this week when he flouted lockdown rules by going for a haircut.
The ex-Derby loanee faces a club fine for his most recent gaffe, which he posted on Instagram. Ibe has been training with the reserves since January — yet during a Twitter Q&A, when asked if he had any regrets, he replied: “No regrets, just need to apply myself.”
Ibe was forced to say sorry for his latest indiscretion when he released a statement which read: “I didn’t think it through and I apologise.
“I made sure to wear protective equipment but I didn’t realise it was in breach of the guidelines.
“There wasn’t any intent to disobey the guidelines and as soon as it was brought to my attention, I look the post down immediately.”
Middlesbrough could offer Ibe a lifeline but they would need to be convinced he has changed his ways.
