Jeremy Sarmiento 'set to join' West Brom's Championship rivals following loan recall

Brighton & Hove Albion winger Jeremy Sarmiento is expected to join Ipswich Town on a six-month loan deal after seeing his West Bromwich Albion spell cut short. The Ecuadorian left The Hawthorns on January 1 due to Brighton ending the season-long loan prematurely for a lack of game time.

Sarmiento played 20 times for the Baggies in the Sky Bet Championship, scoring twice, but just seven of the appearances were as a starter. The Seagulls were hoping the Ecuador international would be a key figure for West Brom but he became more of a rotation option under Carlos Corberan.

Ipswich immediately made a call to Brighton for the 21-year-old and an agreement has now been reached, reports Ecuador-based journalist Maria Jose Flores. Sarmiento will join the Tractor Boys until June and could spend another 12 months at Portman Road if promotion to the Premier League is achieved.
