Jeremy Sarmiento is joining Burnley on a season-long loan.

The Ecuador international heads to Turf Moor after an excellent pre-season and on the back of promotion from the Championship with Ipswich Town last season.

Men’s first-team head coach Fabian Hurzeler said, “Jeremy has worked hard across pre-season and done very well in the games he’s played for us, including at Everton and against Crawley this week.

“His attitude has been first-class and this will benefit him for the season ahead with Burnley, which we will be watching with great interest.

“Gordon Greer and the team will monitor his progress and we wish him all the very best for the season ahead.”

Jeremy joined Albion from Portuguese side Benfica in July 2021. A former England Under-17 international, he came through the ranks with Charlton Athletic, before signing for Benfica in 2018.

He made his debut for Albion in the Carabao Cup victory over Swansea City in September 2021, before making his first appearance in the Premier League later that season, as a substitute in the goalless draw against Leeds United.

Jeremy was called up for his international debut with Ecuador in October 2021, and featured for them at the World Cup in Qatar a year later.

He made his breakthrough in the Premier League during the second half of the 2022/23 season and finished that campaign with seven Premier League appearances and one assist.

Last season Jeremy spent the first half of the season with West Bromwich Albion, where he made 20 Championship appearances scoring twice.

He switched to Ipswich during the January transfer window and helped the club win promotion to the Premier League – scoring the crucial goal that sealed their vital 3-2 win over promotion rivals Southampton during the run in.

Jeremy came on as a sub in the 3-0 win at Everton on the opening day of this season and scored his first senior goal for the club in Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Crawley Town.
