Promotion winning forward arrives on season-long loan

Burnley Football Club are delighted to confirm the signing of Ecuador international Jeremy Sarmiento, who joins on a season-long loan deal from Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 22-year-old winger helped Ipswich Town achieve promotion to the Premier League last season and will now spend the 2024/25 campaign at Turf Moor.

Upon moving to Burnley, Sarmiento said: “I’m really excited, it was a big decision, as the next step was really important for me.

“I felt that the project Burnley are building at the moment suited me and I spoke with the manager, and I just wanted to be a part of it.

“Once we had the conversations, it was a no brainer for me to come here and come and achieve the objectives we have set.”

Born in Madrid to Ecuadorian parents, Sarmiento made the move to England with his family at seven-years-old and began his early football career in Charlton Athletic’s academy.

Following nearly 10 years with the Addicks, the forward joined Benfica’s academy in 2018 and during his time in Lisbon, Sarmiento represented England from U16-U18 level.

The summer of 2021 saw Sarmiento return to England and sign for Premier League side Brighton & Hove Albion and two months after joining the Seagulls, he made his professional debut in an EFL Cup third round tie against Swansea City.

Sarmiento then committed his international future, after receiving his first Ecuador senior team call-up in October that year, where the winger made his debut in a 3-0 win over Bolivia.

A Premier League debut followed a month later against Leeds United at the Amex arena, before being rewarded with a new long-term contract in January 2022 and eventually winning Brighton’s Young Player of the Season award in his first season on the South coast.

After 12 appearances for the Albion in the 2022/23 campaign and appearing at the Qatar World Cup with Ecuador, Sarmiento joined Championship side West Bromwich Albion on loan last summer, before signing for Ipswich in January for the remainder of the campaign and helping the Tractor Boys win promotion.
