Ipswich have signed Jeremy Sarmiento on loan from Brighton for the rest of the season.

The 21 year old spent the first half of the campaign at another Championship side - West Brom - where he scored twice in 20 Championship appearances.

He was recalled earlier this week.

The Ecuador international, who represented his country at the 2022 World Cup, will join his Town teammates later this week and will wear the number 21 shirt during his time with the club.

“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,” Jeremy said.

“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.”
