Premier League star gives shout-out to Ecuador fan who has gone viral after posing in bikini and fishnet stockings

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 nations 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.

As a result, the supporter has been hailed as the "tricolour godmother" online.

And it seems her fame even reached the national team players, with Sarmiento's post paired with the video reading: "Really appreciate all of the support from our fans out at the Copa America."

However, fans online were stunned at the tweet, with one saying: "Thought this was a parody account."

A second said: "How have I only just seen this, fair enough. He's one of us."

Others tried to big up the Ecuador star, with one adding: "Jeremy mate, thanks for the Lamborghini and for saving me from being mugged by single-handedly fighting off ten men! Appreciate you!"

Another said: "Thanks for lending me your yacht Jeremy! The family had a great time. It was so nice of you to pay for a day out."

Sarmiento scored in his nations first game of the tournament against Venezuela, though the game ended in a 2-1 defeat.

He scored five goals in 40 appearances for the Tractor Boys in the Championship.
