Although Middlesbrough failed to secure promotion to the Premier League, Jeremy Sarmiento received good news ahead of the next season. The English club decided to buy the Ecuadorian winger's transfer after his good performances in the Championship. The tricolor arrived in January on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, after a discreet stint with Cremonese Italian. However, in the English second division, he managed to find a better version of his game and ended up earning the trust of the coaching staff. Sarmiento played 20 games with the Boro during the second half of the season. Although he did not register goals or assists, his performances were positively valued by coach Kim Hellberg, who even publicly highlighted his growth within the team. "He has had brilliant performances coming off the bench and is getting better every time. I like working with him", Hellberg had said months ago about the Ecuadorian striker. Now, the Madrid-born but Ecuadorian national, will continue his career in England and will seek to be a protagonist in the 2026/27 season, where Middlesbrough will again fight for the coveted promotion to the Premier League.
