Luca Warrick Daeovie Koleosho (born September 15, 2004) is an American-Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a winger for Espanyol B.

Career

Koleosho began playing soccer with his local soccer club Trumbull United at the age of 7, before moving to the Manhattan Kickers. After trialling in Barcelona, his parents decided to help him develop in Spain. He joined the youth academy of Reus, before moving to Espanyol's U17s in 2020.[1] Working his way up their youth sides, he signed his first professional contract with Espanyol on June 2, 2021, keeping him at the club for 3 additional seasons.[2] He made his professional debut with Espanyol in a 0–0 La Liga tie with Granada on May 22, 2022, coming as a late substitute in the 90th minute.[3]

International career

Koleosho was born and raised in the United States to a Nigerian father and an Italian-Canadian mother.[4] He holds an Italian passport through his mother.[1]

United States

In April 2022, Koleosho was called up to a United States under-20 training camp in Carson, California.[5][6] After his call-up to Canada's senior side in June 2022 Koleosho confirmed he had not closed the door on representing the United States.[7]

Canada

Koleosho was called up to the senior Canada national team for a friendly and two CONCACAF Nations League matches in June 2022.[8] He departed the camp after the cancellation of the Iran friendly and the subsequent cancellation of the replacement Panama friendly.[9] In September 2022 Koleosho was re-called to Canada ahead of friendlies against Qatar and Uruguay.[10]
