Benfica's Sarmiento has signed a pre-contract with a Premier League team, father says

Jeremy Sarmiento is on his way out of Benfica, with the player’s father confirming a pre-contract has been agreed with a Premier League club.

The winger was on Charlton’s books as a teenager, before making the move to Benfica in 2018.

He has had little chance to shine under Benfica coach Jorge Jesus, which has angered the player’s father, and a move to a Premier League club awaits.
