Wolves Becomes The 86th Club To Supply A Player To The Spanish National Team by ayazor: 7:54pm On Oct 05, 2018
Throughout the Spanish national team's 98-year history, there have been many coaches and players who have been part of La Roja, representing both the nation and their clubs who they played for at that time.


With the introduction of Jonny, a Wolverhampton Wanderers player, in Luis Enrique's latest squad, the list of clubs who have given a player to the national side rises to 86.

The English side, who were promoted to the Premier League this season, had other Spanish players in their ranks such as Adama Traore, Rafa Mir and Fernando, but none of them had been called up to the Spain squad.
Wolves, coached by a man familiar to Spanish football fans in Nuno Espirito Santo, became the 28th foreign side to contribute a player to La Roja.

If we look at the leagues outside of those in Spain to provide the most players to the national side over the years, then the Premier League has managed more than any other.

Eleven teams have had Spanish internationals in their ranks: Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Newcastle, Swansea, Tottenham, West Ham and now Wolves.

Serie A is next with nine (Fiorentina, Milan, Brescia, Inter, Juventus, Lazio, Napoli, Sampdoria and Torino), then comes two for Ligue 1 (Monaco and Marseille), Portugal (Porto and Benfica) and the Bundesliga (Bayern Munichand Borussia Dortmund).

The Turkish top flight (Fenerbahce) and Major League Soccer (New York City FC) have both contributed one player apiece.

The podium for teams who have contributed most is understandably made up of the top three in historical terms for Spanish football: Barcelona, Real Madrid and Athletic Club in that order.

The first foreign team to appear in the rankings are Liverpool, in 10th position.
It should be noted that the list does not only include top-flight teams and several players have received the call for their displays despite being in lower divisions.

That happened with Pablo Fornals at Malaga B, Sergio Busquets at Barcelona B, Mikel Oyarzabal at Real Sociedad and Iker Casillas with Real Madrid Castilla.
