Newcastle interested in Fulham star – Report

After a draining few months over the summer, where tedious transfer sagas dragged on until deadline day, it won’t be long until trading season returns in January.

There is a lot of football to be played between now and the new year, but Newcastle scouts will have their eye on a number of potential targets as we look to strengthen a squad bidding to compete regularly in the league, both cups and Europe.

A new link has emerged today, as The Chronicle reveal that Newcastle are keeping a close eye on Fulham sensation Joshua King.

Lee Ryder reports that Newcastle are watching the attacking midfielder, who has been one of the breakout talents in the early months of the new 2025/26 Premier League season.

After eight league appearances last term, most of which from the bench, the teenager has started all seven of Fulham’s league games this season, showing impressive technical ability and quick feet.

King has had two goals disallowed and was robbed of what should’ve been his first top flight strike at Chelsea, where VAR intervened to chalk off Fulham’s opener at Stamford Bridge.

He has also been called up to England’s U21 squad over the international break and made an instant impact, winning a penalty just two minutes after replacing Everton’s Tyler Dibling.

Right now, some may wonder how Newcastle find room for a seventh midfielder, but if Joe Willock’s days are numbered and Eddie Howe is on the lookout for another attacking option, King could be a brilliant piece of business.

The England youth star won’t come cheap, however, signing a four-year deal in July to keep him contracted at Craven Cottage until 2029.
