Fulham Stance on Josh King Transfer
According to Football Insider, the Cottagers have no plans to sell the 19-year-old during the winter window, as they focus on climbing the Premier League table. King has become a key figure under Alvaro Arbeloa, netting twice in six league outings this term.
Fulham reportedly value him at a minimum of £50 million, and even a bid of that size is expected to be rejected before the summer.
Why Liverpool and Manchester United Want Josh King
King has made 56 senior appearances since joining the first-team group in 2024, and his versatility is a major selling point. Although primarily a midfielder, he can also be deployed as a centre-forward.
Liverpool are keeping tabs on his progress, with Florian Wirtz yet to find top form at Anfield. Manchester United see King as a long-term option in midfield, potentially in the mould of Bruno Fernandes.
Our Take
Fulham are right to stand firm. Losing a rising homegrown talent mid-season would hurt their survival bid, and with such a high asking price, a summer deal looks the more realistic scenario. Expect the pressure to build, though, as the interest from Merseyside and Manchester shows no sign of fading.
