    Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa on whether players like Josh King make his job easier:

    The players with more experience before a game they like to give a speech, and Josh did and he was amazing. He's on the way to becoming a star. I'm so happy to see him develop. He needs to continue scoring goals and improving and I think I'm here to help him reach his level."

    On how important is having an a player be called up for England: "It's important. He came here when he was young and how the player he has become. It's important for us as a club, this is one of the reasons I became a coach. It's a happy day for all of us. We're thinking of celebrating tomorrow, hopefully with a win."

    More from Alvaro Arbeloa on Josh King's importance to his Fulham's side, as they prepare to host Newcastle United on Saturday on the back of a promising run of two wins and a draw in their last three Premier League matches:

    "For me, he [King] is a very talented player. He can receive between the lines where there is no space. He can drive, he can run, he can dribble with the ball, so he has everything, and we are working with him about his finishing.

    "Obviously he needs to improve there and it is the most difficult thing in football, scoring goals, but his mentality, his character, he is a very mature player.

    "You can’t forget that he is just 19 years old, so it is unbelievable how he is performing. I think he has everything to become one of the best players in the world."
