Fulham midfielder Josh King has been named in Thomas Tuchel’s senior England squad for the first time, moving him closer to representing his country.
First senior-squad selection
King was also part of the training group that travelled to the USA for the World Cup.
Support from experienced players
King said several of England’s more experienced players had made an effort to make him feel welcome since the summer.
“He took me under his wing and tried to make me feel welcome. There were a lot of players like that,” Josh King said.
“Harry Kane as well, he was one person who really made me feel welcome and tried to help me through my time there,” he said.
A long-held ambition
“Playing for England is the dream so to be that one step closer is an amazing achievement, something I’ve been working towards for a long time,” King said.
“I’m grateful to the manager for putting his trust in me,” he added.
