Jeremy Sarmiento: Brighton winger becomes West Brom's first summer signing

West Bromwich Albion have made Brighton & Hove Albion winger Jeremy Sarmiento their first summer signing.

The 21-year-old Ecuador international has joined the Baggies on a season's loan - just 11 days before the start of the new Championship campaign.

Albion's close season market moves had so far only involved Dara O'Shea and Karlan Grant leaving the club.

They released Jake Livermore and Tom Rogic at the end of last season, after coming ninth in the Championship.

Having said they would only be looking at signing players on loan because of a cash-flow shortage, boss Carlos Corberan now has his first summer capture.
