The play-off match for a ticket to play in the Premier League in the 2020-21 season just ended in the early morning of August 5 with Fulham's 2-1 victory over Brentford. They, Leeds United and West Brom, became the three "rooi" teams of the Premier League.
With Fulham returning to the Premier League, 19-year-old talent Benjamin Davis has the opportunity to become the first player in Thai football to play in the highest tournament in the foggy country. In the past, many Thai players such as Teerasil Dangda, suree Sukha or Kiatprawut Saiwaeo were signed by Manchester City in the 2007-08 season but have not been given the opportunity to play.
Previously, Siam Sport and SMM Sport reported that Benjamin Davis had just been extended his contract by Fulham for another 2 years. This is the reason why many Thai fans believe that Benjamin Davis will go down in the history of Thai football.
Benjamin Davis joined Fulham in 2017, and has spent the past 3 years mainly playing for the youth team. Benjamin Davis first made his Fulham first-team debut in August 2019, in a 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Carabao Cup.
The 19-year-old midfielder played for Singapore U16 and U19 before joining Fulham in 2017. After refusing to accept military service in Singapore, Benjamin Davis accepted the offer to wear the Thai national team jersey. He was also present in the U23 Thailand squad participating in the 2020 U23 Asian Cup finals.
