Premier League star Jeremy Sarmiento stunned fans by giving a shout-out to a particular supporter at Copa America. The 22-year-old winger, who spent last season on loan at Ipswich from Brighton, is representing Ecuador at the tournament.

Following Ecuador’s 3-1 win over Jamaica, Sarmiento took to social media to thank fans for their support, highlighting a bikini-clad fan in a viral video outside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fan, dubbed the “tricolour godmother,” was wearing an Ecuador-themed bikini, fishnet tights, and football socks. Sarmiento shared a video of her, captioning it: “Really appreciate all of the support from our fans out at the Copa America.”

Fans were surprised by the tweet, with one saying, “Thought this was a parody account.” Another added, “How have I only just seen this, fair enough. He’s one of us.” Some fans humorously praised Sarmiento, with comments like, “Thanks for the Lamborghini and for saving me from being mugged!” and “Thanks for lending me your yacht, Jeremy!”

Sarmiento, who scored in Ecuador’s first game of the tournament against Venezuela, has been a key player for his national team. He netted five goals in 40 appearances for Ipswich in the Championship last season.
