Fulham are locked in talks with Josh King and his representatives as they close in on tying the teenager down to a long-term contract.
18-year-old King, born in 2007, has been quickly promoted from the academy to the first team, making five appearances in the Premier League this season and being named in the squad for every match since November.
The midfielder has impressed whenever he has been given first-team minutes by Marco Silva, which has also included appearances this season in the FA Cup (twice) and the Carabao Cup.
King has represented England at every age group from Under-15s to the Under-19s. The Fulham academy graduate signed his first professional contract in January 2024.
“Yes, we are in conversations with him, with his agent, with his family as well,” Silva said about a new deal. “It’s not just important for us. I think it’s important for him, too.
