Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Athletic and defensively solid right-back has racked up 233 Premier League experiences for Crystal Palace, Manchester United and West Ham.
A £50m signing for the Red Devils in 2019, the 28-year-old played for DR Congo at the World Cup this summer but now faces an uncertain future following West Ham's relegation to the Championship.
Arsenal, Everton and Fenerbache have all been credited with interest. It's said the Hammers would want £25m for a player who still has five years left on his contract.
Would certainly be an ambitious target.

Ben Davies
One hundred cap Welsh international left-back has played 316 times in the Premier League for Swansea and Tottenham.
The 33-year-old signed a one-year contract extension at Spurs last month, with it being reported that 'the club's hierarchy view his experience and leadership qualities as key during Roberto de Zerbi's first full season in charge'.
Tottenham have signed the experienced Andy Robertson though and also have Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie as left-back options.
Might Davies be available for a small fee? Town certainly need someone to compete with Leif Davis.
Chris Wood is back in action following an injury-hit season at Nottingham Forest. (Image: PA)
Chris Wood
Target man has bagged 92 goals in 278 Premier League appearances for Leicester, Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
He was sidelined for much of last season with a knee injury, but returned to score in a Europa League semi-final first leg win against Aston Villa and then produced some impressive displays for New Zealand at the World Cup.
Will Forest's new boss, Oliver Glasner, look to bring in fresh competition for main striker Igor Thiago? Could Ipswich persuade Wood that he'd have a bigger role to play at Portman Road? Good friend and former Blues defender Tommy Smith would certainly put in a good word about the club.
Could Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes (front) be available to buy this summer? (Image: PA)
Will Hughes
Blond-haired midfielder has played 214 times in the Premier League for Watford and Crystal Palace.
The 31-year-old shared midfield minutes with Daichi Kamada at Selhurst Park last season and now enters the final year of his contract.
A high intensity player who snaps into tackles, he could be perfect for the left-sided six role in this Blues team.
Might England striker Ivan Toney be tempted to return to the Premier League? (Image: PA)
Ivan Toney
Powerful striker provided 36 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League for Brentford before making a shock £40m move to Saudi side Al Ahli two years ago.
The eight-cap England international, currently at the World Cup, has bagged 55 goals in 62 games for his current employers.
With two years left on his lucrative deal, the 30-year-old left the door open to a return to England when interviewed back in February.
Is he available? Would this be in Ipswich's budget? Even if the answer to those two questions is 'yes', then other teams could well have a greater pull. Still, the ex-Peterborough man is worth including in this discussion.
Seamus Coleman is deciding whether to take a coaching role at Everton or carry on playing elsewhere. (Image: PA)
Seamus Coleman
At the peak of his powers, the 81-cap Republic of Ireland international was one of the best right-backs in the Premier League.
Having made 374 appearances for Everton over 17 seasons in the top flight, the 37-year-old's Toffees contract has expired. He's been offered a coaching role in David Moyes' back room staff, but says he's still deciding whether to carry on playing elsewhere.
Could link up with with fellow Irishmen Dara O'Shea, Kasey McAteer and Jack Taylor at Portman Road, fill the experienced right-back void left by Ashley Young's retirement and really drive standards behind the scenes.
New Ipswich boss Gary O'Neil worked with Lewis Cook at Bournemouth. (Image: PA)
Lewis Cook
One-cap England international has made 190 Premier League appearances for Bournemouth.
The 29-year-old was limited to eight league starts for the Cherries last season, with Alex Scott, Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie all getting more minutes for a side that finished sixth and qualified for the Europa League.
Kieran McKenna was a known admirer of the holding midfielder, while new Blues boss Gary O'Neil worked with him at the Vitality Stadium. Now moving into the final two years of his contract.
Tyrone Mings could be pushed further down the pecking order at Aston Villa. (Image: PA)
Tyrone Mings
O'Neil is clearly looking for another left-sided centre-back this summer. The Blues have been linked with Brazilian Alexsandro (Lille), while the EADT and Ipswich Star understands that Lloyd Kelly (Juventus) is a player of interest.
Mings, 33, is now in the final year of his contract, so wouldn't command a huge fee. An 18-cap England international, he's played 189 times in the Premier League and has been hailed as a real leader in Villa's dressing room over the last seven seasons.
Knows Ipswich, of course, having spent two-and-a-half years at Portman Road during Mick McCarthy's tenure.
Ross Barkley has been linked with Coventry after getting limited minutes at Aston Villa over the last two seasons. (Image: PA)
Ross Barkley
Attacking midfielder has notched 40 goals and 34 assists from 305 appearances in the Premier League for Everton, Chelsea, Luton and Aston Villa.
The 32-year-old showed he is willing to play for a newly-promoted club when joining Luton in 2024. He's had limited game time at Villa over the last two seasons and there's been talk that he could be keen on a fresh challenge.
Now entering the final year of his deal. Coventry City are said to be keen on the 33-cap England international.
Harrison Reed is now in the final year of his contract at Fulham. (Image: PA)
Harrison Reed
Recent Ipswich target Tom Cairney recently signed a contract extension at Fulham, but could another of their midfielders be of interest?
Reed, a high-energy, tenacious player, has played 132 times in the Premier League for Southampton and the Cottagers.
Norway international Sander Berge is ahead of him and he's now in the final year of his Craven Cottage contract. The 31-year-old could provide some proper competition to Azor Matusiwa.
Croatian international Mateo Kovacic looks to be surplus to requirements at Man City. (Image: PA)
Mateo Kovacic
117-cap Croatia international has made 209 Premier League appearances at Chelsea and Manchester City.
The vastly experienced former Inter Milan and Real Madrid midfielder was limited to one league start last season, has with the likes of Elliott Anderson, Rodri and Nico Gonzalez ahead of him and now enters the final year of his contract.
Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest have both been linked with the 32-year-old.
England international John Stones is currently a free agent. (Image: PA)
John Stones
93-cap England international, who has made 257 Premier League appearances for Everton and Manchester City, is now a free agent.
The 32-year-old had injury issues last season, but started the Three Lions' recent World Cup quarter-final win against Norway.
It's been reported that Italian clubs Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus have balked at wage demands of around £100k a week.
In all honesty, I can't see this being a deal Ipswich could do. If Stones is going to stay in England, a return to former club Everton looks the most likely.
