Fulham teenager Josh King has received his first senior England call-up from manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of the upcoming international fixtures. The 18-year-old forward has impressed in the Premier League this season, earning praise from former Real Madrid defender Alvaro Arbeloa, who highlighted King's rapid development.

King's selection comes after a string of strong performances for Fulham, including a notable display against Coventry City in the league on November 6, 2026. Tuchel has been monitoring the youngster's progress and decided to include him in the squad for the first time.

The call-up marks a significant milestone for King, who joined Fulham's academy at a young age and has risen through the ranks. Arbeloa, now a pundit, expressed his delight at seeing a player he has followed closely earn international recognition.
