Leeds United fans stunned by Mateo Joseph after big development

Leeds United fans were left in awe of Mateo Joseph after his performance in the pre-season victory against Hannover.

The Spaniard scored twice as Leeds defeated their German opponents 4-1, with Ilia Gruev and Joel Piroe also getting on the scoresheet.

Patrick Bamford and Joel Piroe were the preferred options up top for Daniel Farke last season, but Joseph’s form in pre-season has put him in with a chance at staking a claim.

As his impressive performances continue, cries for him to be involved on a more regular basis are becoming louder among fans.

Last season, he featured 28 times but started just four games across all competitions as Farke was reluctant to trust the 20-year-old ahead of his more experienced teammates.

Leeds United fans stunned by Mateo Joseph after what he did v Hannover

As reported by Football Insider, Joseph had already impressed fans before pre-season began after an interview in which he insisted this would be a big season for his development.

He has now continued to prove his worth on the pitch, with supporters expecting him to have risen above Patrick Bamford in the pecking order.

As a result, many are predicting the “brilliant” striker will have a great season, with some tipping him to win the golden boot as Leeds search for promotion.

Joseph is an absolute star in the making. Brilliant combination of excellent finishing and sharp movement up top. Good lad.
No-brainer to have him as our starting striker. If so, I'm convinced he's gonna have 30 goal season.#LUFC— Lassi (@LassiV_) July 24, 2024

That second Joseph goal;? In stride, open your body up and slot it far corner with your weak foot like its nothing? He's ridiculous. #LUFC— Jibber Jabber (@EthanFromOnline) July 24, 2024

People saying we still need a striker but Joseph should be playing a ridiculous amount of minutes, we then have Rutter, Piroe and Bamford as a backup , that’s probably the best depth for strikers in this league #lufc— Matt (@Matt_sbfield) July 24, 2024

Matteo Joseph, in the first few games of the season, has a huge chance of cementing that strikers roll. Improving at a rapid rate all the time. Just looks made for it. Big opportunity coming up for the lad #Lufc— Ralphy !!!! (@CarlosRalphos) July 24, 2024

This is the season for Mateo Joseph isn't it ???? #lufc— Andrew Harvey (@AndrewHarvey_) July 24, 2024

Magic Joseph. The Spanish Ollie Watkins. ????He’s gonna shine this season. You’ll see. MOT #LUFC https://t.co/EFFGtG417j— The Ghost of Vim Fuego (@Diddlysquatv3) July 24, 2024

Have to have to have to be starting Joseph this season, 2 sublime finishes! #lufc https://t.co/ig99kRizqm— Nath (@nathlufc23) July 24, 2024

We're winning it all, Mateo Joseph top scorer— RB Henry (@LUFCLivin) July 24, 2024

Mateo Joseph may win The Championship Golden Boot this season. Praying Farke starts him at 9, even when Bamford is back healthy. #LUFC #MOT #ALAW https://t.co/bEz3p5b2CT— Jake Winderman (@jakewinderman) July 24, 2024
