Samuel "Samu" Sáiz Alonso (born 22 January 1991), sometimes known as Samuel, is a Spanish footballer who plays for English club Leeds United as a forward or an attacking midfielder.
He spent most of his career in the Spanish lower leagues, amassing Segunda División totals of 69 games and 15 goals with Huesca after signing with the club at the age of 24. In La Liga, he appeared once with Getafe.
Born in Madrid, Samuel arrived in Real Madrid's youth system at the age of eight. He made his senior debuts late into 2008–09 – one game – as the B-team competed in Segunda División B; in the following season, spent in the same level, he contributed more solidly, but they could only rank in eighth position, thus failing to reach the promotion playoff stage.
For the 2010–11 campaign, Samuel was loaned to Sevilla FC's reserves also in division three, in a season-long move. In the following transfer window, however, he returned to Real Madrid, being assigned to its C-side in Tercera División.
On 17 August 2011, Samuel returned to the third tier and joined UD Melilla, with Real retaining a buyback option on the player. Late into the following transfer window, however, he terminated his contract and signed with Getafe CF's reserves in the same tier; he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 1 April 2012, coming on as a substitute for Jaime Gavilán for the last 12 minutes of a 0–3 away loss against Atlético Madrid.
