Cremonese flop Jeremy Sarmiento had been due to join Birmingham City, but is now reportedly heading to Middlesbrough after the loan from Brighton. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder was snapped up by newly-promoted Cremonese on transfer deadline day in September 2025, on what was meant to be a one-season loan from Brighton and Hove Albion.
Cremonese, after a strong start to the season in which the newly-promoted side have won their first two games, are still making moves to strengthen their squad in the closing days of the transfer window, with reports from Italy claiming that the club are closing in on deals for Jamie Vardy and Brighton winger Jeremy Sarmiento.
Sheffield United have agreed a deal with Celtic worth up to £2.5 million for Irish winger Mikey Johnston, according to Alan Nixon. The Blades have been in the market for a natural left-winger, viewing Jeremy Sarmiento and Johnston as ideal candidates, and now they are close to getting a move finalised for the Celtic man.
