Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has hailed big personal changes after a season on loan at RCD Mallorca. The Spain under-21s striker shared images from gym sessions in Leeds United training kit.The player said in a post that: “Small improvements these past few weeks are starting to turn into big changes, we continue to build.”Last summer Joseph told Leeds he did not feel ready to travel to Sweden for a pre-season friendly with Manchester United, then chose not to join the training camp in Germany. He later informed head coach Daniel Farke that he wanted to return to Spain, with Leeds insisting only a loan would be considered for the 22-year-old, who then had two years left on his contract.Real Betis showed interest and Mallorca also moved for him, and he joined Mallorca on a season-long loan. He made 30 appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists.His campaign ended in April with an ACL injury that left him facing at least a few months out. He is back with Leeds this summer, his future uncertain, and is contracted until the summer of 2028.
