Fabian Wilnis believes Ipswich Town team-mate Darren Bent can emerge as one of the best strikers in the Premiership.

The Blues target-man roared back to form with two goals in Saturday's 3-2 success against Coventry at Portman Road.

That swelled his tally to 13 for the season making him join top scorer with Shefki Kuqi and Wilnis told the Gazette: "Darren's awesome.

"He's already one of the top strikers in the Championship but I believe he can become one of the best in the Premiership. He's still learning but there's no reason why he can't go all the way.

"Darren's got so many attributes. Everyone knows about his pace but he's also very skilful, a great finisher and good in the air."
