Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph feels he made a “good choice” to “trust the club” and stay with them last season.
The 20-year-old struggled for regular playing time in 2023-24 and had to wait until December before getting his first minutes, competing with Patrick Bamford and Joel Piroe for a place in the team.
His best moment, however, came in the FA Cup when he scored twice in the Whites’ fifth-round tie against Premier League side Chelsea.
“They told me I have to be patient. When you go to another place [on loan] you never know what can happen, so I am glad I stayed.
am glad I was calm and waited for my opportunity, which I think I took every time they gave it to me.”
The Spain Under-21 international featured twice in the play-off campaign that ended in defeat by Southampton and is hoping he can help Leeds push for promotion again this season.
“It is going to be difficult, the Championship always is,” he added.
“It’s very competitive. It will be more tight [this time] because last year you could see three or four teams with difference to the rest.
“We will have to give everything in games and training to achieve our objective.”
