José Luis Mato Sanmartín (born 27 March 1990), known as Joselu, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Qatar Stars League club Al-Gharafa.
Joselu began his career with Celta Vigo, before being purchased by Real Madrid in the summer of 2009. He was a prolific goalscorer for their B-team, scoring 40 goals in 72 appearances, but was unable to break into the first team, and sold to Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim in August 2012. Following a loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt, Joselu joined Hannover 96 in June 2014, and then Premier League side Stoke City a year later for a fee of £5.75 million. In 2017, he moved to Newcastle United for £5 million, where he spent two seasons, before signing for Alavés for an undisclosed fee. Joselu then played for Espanyol, before rejoining Real Madrid on loan for the 2023–24 season, where he won the UEFA Champions League.
