Brighton Loanee Sarmiento Fits Boro's Promotion Bill

Former Middlesbrough midfielder Neil Maddison has shared his positive assessment of Jeremy Sarmiento, the latest addition to the Teesside club's squad. Maddison believes the winger, who has joined on loan from Brighton, possesses the qualities needed to bolster Middlesbrough's promotion push.

Sarmiento, an Ecuador international, arrives with a limited playing record from his recent loan spell at Italian side Cremonese, where he made just seven substitute appearances. Despite this, Maddison is optimistic about the player's potential under current Middlesbrough manager Kim Hellberg.

Maddison highlighted Sarmiento's pace and technical ability as key attributes that align with the team's preferred style of play. He anticipates that the new signing will provide valuable depth and an additional attacking option, expressing hope that Sarmiento will thrive and develop under Hellberg's guidance.
