1. Scouting report & biography

Executive Summary

Josh King, born 3 January 2007, is a right-footed attacking midfielder at Fulham. He captained England at youth level and made his professional debut in August 2024. Standing 173 cm, he has become a regular in the Premier League side.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

King drifts into pockets of space between defence and midfield and makes late line-breaking runs into the box. He presses high to win the ball back and drive his team forward. His shot conversion sits below average, with 2 goals from an xG of 1.47, ranking 128th for xG per shot in the league.

Career and Recent Context

King progressed through Fulham's academy, moving from the youth setup to Fulham FC U18 in January 2023 and to the first team in January 2024. Last season he started 15 of 32 league matches as he adjusted to top-level football. This campaign he has scored twice in five league appearances, logging 427 minutes with a 7.21 average rating and one yellow card.

Transfers and Outlook

Arsenal, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are monitoring King, with initial estimates around €60 million. A deal would break the club record, but Alvaro Arbeloa would likely block a winter transfer.
