Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has made a switch at international level, after being called up to Spain's U21s squad after discussions with head coach, Santi Denia.

Born in Cantabria, the 20-year old played 10 times for England's U20s through his English father, but after impressing at club and international level, has committed his future to his home country.

Joseph has played 18 times for Leeds this season, scoring his first professional goals in the FA Cup against Premier League side Chelsea last month.

Spain's U21s will first host Slovakia on Thursday 21st March (6pm) in a friendly, before taking on Belgium at the Estadio Mediterráneo a few days later (Tuesday 26th March, 6pm) in their latest EURO U21 qualifier.

La Rojita are expected to progress to next summer's tournament, which they have won on five occasions, currently topping a group that includes Scotland, Hungary, Kazakhstan and Malta.
