Impact Joselu was part of Real Madrid B from 2009-2012, making one appearance with the senior team during the 2011-12 season. He since had bounced from team-to-team, playing in the Bundesliga, Premier League and La Liga. The forward had one of his best seasons yet, scoring 16 goals with Espanyol to finish third in the golden boot race. With Espanyol relegated, Joselu will spend a season with Real Madrid, where he is likely to get regular starts at striker after the departure of Karim Benzema. With the Spaniard's ability to score in the league, he could be just what the team needs, but could also see his time split with Rodrygo if he does not produce as expected.
