Luca Warrick Daeovie Koleosho (born September 15, 2004) is a professional footballer who plays as a left winger or forward for EFL Championship club Burnley. Born in the United States, he is currently a youth international for Italy.

Early life

Koleosho began playing with his local soccer club Trumbull United at the age of 7.[2] Afterwards, he played for the Manhattan Kickers from age 7 to 11.[3] After two trips to Spain with the Kickers, his parents decided to help him develop in Spain.[2][4] In 2016, he joined the youth academy of Reus, before moving to the Espanyol youth system in 2020.[5][6] 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.[7] In 2022, he helped the Espanyol U19 reach the Copa del Rey Juvenil final, where they were defeated by Real Madrid.[8]

Club career

Espanyol

He debuted at the senior level with Espanyol B in the fourth tier Segunda División RFEF during the 2021–22 season.[8] He made his first start on October 8, 2022, and scored his first goal against RCD Mallorca B.[9][10]

He made his first team 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.[11] Koleosho scored his first goal for the senior side in Espanyol's final match of the 2022–23 La Liga season against Almería, netting the third goal for his club in a 3–3 draw on June 4, 2023.[12][13]

Burnley

On July 25, 2023, Koleosho joined Premier League side Burnley for a transfer fee of £2.6m, plus £860,000 in add-ons, signing a four-year deal with the club.[14][15][16] He made his debut for the Clarets on August 11, starting in a 3–0 league defeat to Manchester City.[17] On December 2, he scored his first Premier League goal in a 5–0 victory over Sheffield United.[18][19]

International career

Koleosho is eligible to represent the United States, Canada, Nigeria, and Italy, as he was born and raised in the United States to a Nigerian father and an Italian-Canadian mother.[20]

United States

In August 2019, Koleosho appeared with the United States U15 team, making four appearances.[21][22] In April 2022, Koleosho was called up to a United States under-20 training camp in Carson, California.[23] 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.[8]

Canada

Koleosho was called up to the Canada senior national team for a friendly and two CONCACAF Nations League matches in June 2022.[24] He departed the camp after the cancellation of the Iran friendly and the subsequent cancellation of the replacement Panama friendly.[25] In September 2022, Koleosho was re-called to Canada ahead of friendlies against Qatar and Uruguay.[26][27] In May 2023, Koleosho was listed on the Canada preliminary rosters for the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals.[28]

Italy

In March 2023, Koleosho accepted a call-up to the Italy under-19 national team, joining a training camp in preparation to the Elite round of the qualifications to the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[29] He was subsequently included in the 20-men squad that took part in the aforementioned round.[30][31] He debuted with them as a late substitute in a 0–0 friendly tie with Slovenia U19 on March 25.[32]

In June 2023, he was included in the Italian squad for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Malta,[33] where the Azzurrini eventually won their second continental title.[34][35]

On November 21, 2023, he made his debut for the Italian under-21 national team in a 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying match against the Republic of Ireland.[36]
