PREMIER LEAGUE star Jeremy Sarmiento shocked fans by giving a shout-out to a particular fan at Copa America.
The winger, who spent last season on loan at Ipswich from Brighton, is representing his nation, Ecuador, at Copa America this year.
Sarmiento, 22, took to social media after starring in his nation’s 3-1 win over Jamaica.
He singled out one bikini-clad fan in particular to thank them for their support, sharing a video of them to his page.
The fan in question has gone viral across social media after she starred in a video outside of the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The mystery beauty was wearing an Ecuador-themed bikini, fishnet tights and football socks.
