Ipswich now targeting “extraordinary” partner for Hutchinson

Ipswich now targeting “extraordinary” partner for Hutchinson

Ipswich Town are already showing to their fans that they won’t roll over and just allow

relegation to happen moving up to the Premier League, with a new record buy now in through the door.

According to football journalist Darren Witcoop via social media, Ipswich are eyein

g up the services of former Blackburn Rovers striker Ben Brereton-Diaz this summer,

with the Chile international keen on a return to the Premier League.

Ipswich will hope that the current Villarreal player, who has struggled to find form in

Spain since arriving there in 2023, can be a consistent supplier of goals with Hutchinson

when he returns to England.

The two new signings might make a lethal combo over time, as Ipswich hope to surprise

teams with their offensive drive – which saw them score 92 goals in the Championship

– rather than simply being defensively strong in the top flight.

Last term, Ipswich’s new signing scored ten goals and registered six assists in Championship action,

leading us to believe that it could be quite the sight if he partnered Brereton-Diaz in attack.

Aside from being a famous cool finisher in the second tier, having scored 14 goals in his final full

season with Blackburn, Brereton-Diaz shown, when on loan at Bramall Lane, that he will not be

intimidated by the bright lights of the Premier League.

The striker helped himself to six goals in just 14 Blades games, scoring every 185 minutes for his

temporary employers in the process, to try to boost spirits in South Yorkshire away from the sadness

and gloom of a dismal relegation.

As can be seen looking at the table above, the 25-year-old will hope he can be Ipswich’s leading man in

attack next season if signed, having beaten all of his competition in the Tractor Boys ranks last season

for goals scored across a full Championship campaign.
