Jeremy Sarmiento Scout Report
Jeremy Sarmiento, a 21-year-old Ecuadorean Left Winger for Ipswich Town, is a noteworthy talent in the Championship. What immediately stands out is his immense attacking potency. Posing a formidable goal threat, Sarmiento has unprecedentedly hit the century mark in xG per 90, goals per 90, and shots per 90 percentiles among his peers, highlighting his ruthlessness in the final third.
In addition, his high chance creation percentile of 92.21% attests to his creative ingenuity and unyielding eye for a killer pass which, along with his impressive assist and xA per 90 percentiles, makes him a heart-throb for any attack-minded set up. Add to this his progressive carrying and passing ability, and a picture forms of a player who can both create and convert chances.
Tickling the 100-percentile, Sarmiento's successful dribbles per 90 tell the story of a player blessed with masterful ball control and deft footwork, while his 98.7% pass accuracy per 90 adds another feather to his cap.
However, his mettle isn't entirely bereft of tarnish. Sarmiento suffers from low ball recovery (15.58%) and mediocre ball retention (49.35%), indicating a need for improvement in the defensive aspect of his game. Surprisingly, despite his impressive goal-scoring prowess, his goal efficiency percentile is a mere 20.77%, revealing a susceptibility to squander goal scoring opportunities.
But what raises the most eyebrows is his 100-percentile score in being dispossessed per 90, painting a picture of a player who often loses the ball, reinforcing his need to improve ball retention.
Despite these drawbacks, Sarmiento’s potential is undeniable, and at only 21 years old, he has plenty of room to grow and address these aspects of his game. This young winger certainly has the makings of a star.
