Mateo Joseph Fernandez joined Leeds from Espanyol in 2022 and quickly emerged as one of Leeds United's most promising attacking talents. Joseph first made his mark with standout performances for the youth sides, particularly in Premier League 2, where his goal-scoring prowess caught the attention of fans and coaches alike. His eye for goal, work ethic, and versatility across the front line set him apart as a future star.

Joseph's breakthrough into the first team came during the 2023-2024 season. Despite Leeds' struggles during their relegation battle, the young striker showcased his talent in several appearances, gaining valuable experience and confidence at the senior level. His performances made him a player to watch, and he began to establish himself as a genuine first-team option.

As the 2024-2025 season kicked off, Joseph found himself thrust into the spotlight due to an injury to Patrick Bamford, stepping up as Leeds United's first-choice striker. With Bamford sidelined, Joseph has seized the opportunity to lead the line, becoming a key figure in Leeds� attack. His ability to link play, create chances, and score goals will be crucial as Leeds push for promotion back to the Premier League.

8 months if it goes well from late April to get back to training, couple of months conditioning, couple of months in the 21's for match fitness. Back properly for 27/8, and then we'll release him

MJ is currently on the sidelines and we'd be lucky if he was fully fit by season's end. DF is not playing a two man attack either.......

I like Joseph but he won't be fit to play this season..

I was wrong about Joseph! Thought he was going to be a star but he isn't is he? Average player with a massive ego. He'll leave on a free once he's fit Another one where we should have taken the stupid money when it was offered. We waste so much money due to bad decisions it beggars belief...
