Former Spain and Real Madrid defender Álvaro Arbeloa described it as "a special moment" after Fulham teenager Josh King received his first call-up to the England senior squad on November 6, 2026.
The 18-year-old midfielder has impressed for the Cottagers this season, earning recognition from England manager Thomas Tuchel. Arbeloa, who currently coaches in the Real Madrid youth system, praised the youngster's progress and highlighted the significance of the selection for both player and club.
King becomes the latest academy graduate to break into the Fulham first team and attract international attention, following a pathway that has seen several young players transition to senior football in recent years.
