Brighton attacker Jeremy Sarmiento has joined West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan.

The 21-year-old Ecuador international made nine Premier League appearances for the Seagulls last season but had his campaign cut short by a foot injury.

Technical director David Weir said, “Jeremy is at a stage now where he needs to play regularly and this is a really good move for him.

“We’ll be keeping a close eye on his development throughout the campaign and wish him well for the season.”

The Ecuador international joined Albion in 2021 from Benfica, going onto make his first team debut in September of that year in the Carabao Cup. He has made 19 first team appearances in all competitions.

Last month Sarmiento agreed a new contract until June 2027, with the option of an extra year for the club. He has made 13 appearances for Ecuador and featured for his country at the Qatar World Cup last December.
