Leeds United defender Diego Llorente is delighted with his Spain recall - and insists he's happy at Elland Road.

Amid disputed claims that the Spaniard has been unhappy with the amount of game-time he has been handed at Leeds, the centre-back has moved to reassure fans that his 'main objective' remains in West Yorkshire.

On the back of his latest international call-up, ahead of three World Cup qualifiers this month, Llorente told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's something I have accepted with great pride, it's a real honour and something that I'm very happy about to be called up.

"It's important recognition of your hard work but at the same time, my aim is to carry on bringing stuff to Leeds, helping Leeds out and if that leads to international recognition then great.

"The main objective is to work hard and provide my ability to Leeds."
