Fulham have been told that they have one of the best young prospects in England right now in the form of 16-year-old Josh King.
Posting on X, formerly Twitter, The Secret Scout account was highlighting some of the most exciting wonderkids in English football.
One of the players that the account wanted to highlight was Fulham youngster Josh King.
Marco Silva has shown in recent weeks that he’s not afraid of giving young players at the club a chance to shine in the first team.
Defender Luc de Fougerolles was handed his full debut against Ipswich Town in the cup and did brilliantly.
There was even a late debut that evening for full-back Devan Tanton which was a proud moment for the 19-year-old.
Fulham have one of the best academies in England right now and Josh King is the latest player to make waves.
He’s already been named one of the best youngsters in the Premier League this season.
At 16, he appears to have a huge future ahead of him, but that may not be at Craven Cottage.
Fulham told King is one of England’s best
The Secret Scout was asked about the England youth international and said: “One of the best young midfielders in England.
“For his career, I think he should go abroad. He could easily go to top club in Spain. The ways he plays reminds me of those type of midfielders.
“He’s playing u21 @ 16 so Fulham will need to push him soon.”
It says a lot about the player that King is becoming that he’s been backed to succeed in Spain.
He’s a very impressive technician in the centre of the pitch and looks very comfortable playing alongside players who are years older than him.
Fulham will need to make sure that King sees a future for himself at the club rather than leaving England for Spain.
The likes of Harvey Elliott, Fabio Carvalho and Matt O’Riley have gone on to star away from Fulham after starring in the academy.
Marco Silva has to make sure that doesn’t keep happening and offering first-team chances to the club’s best academy players is the best way to do that.
Alongside the likes of De Fougerolles, Tanton, Jay Stansfield and Luke Harris, King could be the latest star from that generation of players to get Fulham fans excited.
