Ipswich have signed midfielder, Jeremy Sarmiento on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion until June 2024.
Sarmiento spent the first half of this season on loan at West Bromwich Albion, where he scored twice in 21 appearances before he was recalled on New Year’s Day.
Brighton have now sent the 21 year-old Ecuadorian out on loan to Championship’s promotion challengers, Ipswich for the remainder of the current season.
“I’m very excited to be joining Ipswich at a time when they have been on a great run since winning promotion to the Championship,” commented Sarmiento upon his move to Portman Road.
“Ipswich were always there, after interest in the summer which didn’t quite work out, but I’m here now and I’m ready to do my best.
“It’s happened quickly and smoothly and I’ve enjoyed my conversations with the Manager, which made it clear this is where I should play, so I’m excited to try and show him what I can do and earn minutes in a team which plays a style I think will suit me.
“I am a direct player and like to get the fans on their feet with a bit of flair, which is a big side to my game, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Brighton’s Technical Director, David Weir added: “This is a good move for Jeremy in terms of his development. We wish him every success at Ipswich and we’re looking forward to following his progress in the second half of the season.”
Sarmiento could make his first appearance for Ipswich on Saturday 6 January, away at AFC Wimbledon in Third Round of 2023-24 FA Cup.
