Getafe striker Jaime Mata admits maiden Spain call-up is 'a bit of a novelty'

Jaime Mata admits his call-up to the Spain squad is "a bit of a novelty" but is determined to make the most of his chance under Luis Enrique.

The 30-year-old earned a place in the senior set-up for the first time in his career following his fine form for Getafe in his first season at the club.

Mata moved to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez stadium from Real Valladolid last summer, having helped the club gain promotion to La Liga with an astounding record of 35 goals in 43 Segunda appearances.
