Bent Likely To Leave

Ipswich Town striker Darren Bent has dropped a massive hint suggesting will leave Town in the summer if they fail to get promoted.

The 21-year-old striker is Town’s leading scorer this season with 19 goals for town and a few for Peter Taylor’s England Under 21 side has pushed his value up, well above the £3million Charlton offered back in August.

Bent: “I really hope this is my last Championship season for a long while.

“Everyone wants to play in the Premiership, it is where all the big boys are. Darren Ambrose and Titus Bramble have moved up and they have gone there and done reasonably well, so I'm just hoping that next season will be my chance.

“There is a possibility that Ipswich don't go up and if that happens then I have to sit down and work out what is best for Darren Bent.

“At the moment, though, I'm not thinking about that, and I'm hoping Ipswich do go up and I will be here next season playing for them in the Premiership.”
