| José Luis Mato Sanmartín (born 27 March 1990), known as Joselu, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for La Liga club Real Madrid, on loan from Segunda División club Espanyol, and the Spain national team.
Joselu began his career with Celta de Vigo before being purchased by Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. He was a prolific goalscorer for their B-team, scoring 40 goals in 72 appearances but he was unable to break into the first team and was sold to Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim in August 2012, being loaned out to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2013–14. Joselu joined Hannover 96 in June 2014, then Premier League side Stoke City a year later for a fee of £5.75 million. In 2017, he moved to Newcastle United for £5 million, where he spent two seasons before moving to Alavés for an undisclosed fee. He then signed for Espanyol at an undisclosed fee, before joining Real Madrid on loan for the 2023–24 season.
Born in West Germany, Joselu played for Spain at multiple youth levels, and made his debut for the senior national team in 2023. He was a member of the squad that won the 2022–23 UEFA Nations League. Wikipedia text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License - Full article |
