Ipswich gained automatic promotion to the Premier League for next year, so will be looking to build a team capable of maintaining their position in the division beyond one season.

Leeds and Southampton are fighting for the third promotion place, and will meet at Wembley Stadium this weekend to determine who will go up through the play-offs.

Brereton Diaz spent the second half of the term on loan with Sheffield United, where he bagged six goals in 14 league appearances (all stats from Fbref).

The forward will return to Villarreal this summer, where he has struggled for game time since joining as a free agent 12 months ago.

Bent believes that Ipswich or one of Leeds and Southampton should be taking a look at signing Brereton Diaz this summer in order to bolster their attacking options.

The 40-year-old has claimed the Chile international is too good for the Championship, and has plenty to offer one of the promoted sides in the Premier League next season.
