Leeds United star Junior Firpo has met with the Dominican Republic's national team coach Marcelo Neveleff to discuss a "new national team project".
Firpo, who was born in the Dominican Republic, grew up in Spain and has represented the Spanish U21s. Due to his place of birth, the full-back is still eligible to play for the Caribbean nation and now it appears that they are keen to involve the Premier League star in the next stage of the country's football progression.
Having scored the winning goal against Southampton - his first Premier League strike for the club - Firpo has quickly emerged as a key cog in Javi Gracia's team for the rest of the season. And despite the previous criticism of the footballing set-up in his home-nation, the Leeds star now appears central to their resurgence.
