Ex-West Brom star could come back to haunt them after Ipswich Town news: View
Injury updates from Ipswich Town could create an opportunity for former West Brom winger Jeremy Sarmiento to secure a starting position at Portman Road, possibly causing trouble for his former team. Sarmiento, who was on loan at West Brom from Brighton & Hove Albion in the first half of the season, returned to Brighton at the beginning of 2024 and was subsequently loaned to Ipswich Town in January.
Despite struggling for starts at his new temporary club, a recent injury development at Ipswich Town might open up more playing time for Sarmiento as the season reaches its conclusion. Both Ipswich Town and West Brom are currently vying for promotion to the Premier League through the play-off places. West Brom might rue their inability to retain Sarmiento for the remainder of the campaign if he ends up making significant contributions in the promotion battle.
During his time at West Brom, Sarmiento’s performance was not particularly impressive for a creative player, as he managed to score two goals but provided no assists in 21 appearances, with many of his outings coming off the bench. Some observers speculate that this limited playing time might have influenced Brighton’s decision to recall him early from his loan spell at West Brom.
Following his recall, Sarmiento swiftly moved to Ipswich Town, another promotion contender. Here, he has demonstrated a slight improvement in productivity, potentially motivated by a desire to prove himself, having scored three goals and provided two assists in just 14 appearances.
