Josh King, making his first official call-up to the England national team, expressed his gratitude for the support of his senior teammates.

England's "Three Lions" will face Croatia and Spain in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Josh King, who is making his first official call-up to the England senior team, said he is very grateful for the support from his senior teammates, including Bellingham and Kane.

It is worth noting that Josh King, who plays for Fulham in the English Premier League, flew to the United States with the England senior team for training during the 2026 World Cup, along with Ngumoha, Alex Scott, and Nwaneri.

Reflecting on his time at the training camp in the United States with England players, 19-year-old Josh King shared, "There were many people who helped me a lot during the pre-World Cup training camp. Especially Bellingham, who took the initiative to look after me, help me integrate into the team, and try to make me feel welcomed."

“There are many players like Bellingham, and Kane is one of them. He made me feel very welcome and helped me a lot during training with the team. This fully reflects the great team atmosphere in the England national team. Everyone here is not only excellent in terms of skills, but also in terms of character.”

Josh King also said, "It has always been my dream to play for England, and now I am one step closer to realizing that dream. This is a great achievement and something I have been working towards for a long time. So I am very grateful to the manager for his trust in me."

When asked what position coach Tuchel would assign him, Josh King said, "I'm happy to play whatever position the coach needs me to play. I still need to continuously improve my abilities in matches, especially on the flanks, so I may need to take on more defensive duties, or I may need to use my running to attack behind the opponent's defense."

“I can play in many different positions, which may be one of the reasons why I was selected for the England national team this time.”
