Fulham Close To Signing Manchester City Winger Oscar Bobb As Talks Advance
Fulham are in advanced talks with Manchester City over a deal for Norwegian winger Oscar Bobb, with sources suggesting an agreement is close and could be completed soon.
The Cottagers want to inject more creativity into their attack as they look to maintain their Premier League momentum.
City are prepared to let the 22-year-old leave permanently to secure consistent first-team football.
Bobb has impressed in limited opportunities at the Etihad but remains behind several established stars in Pep Guardiola’s pecking order.
Fulham’s pursuit highlights their ambition to secure young, high-potential talent with Premier League pedigree.
Reports indicate that Fulham are nearing a £35m deal for the attacker, having already tabled an official offer.
Journalist Ben Jacobs states that the club is now in advanced discussions with Manchester City for Bobb and is close to finalizing an agreement.
The Norway international made an eye-catching breakthrough in the 2023–24 campaign, recording one goal and one assist in 14 Premier League outings before a serious leg injury kept him out for 54 matches.
Now fully recovered, he brings pace, close control, and the versatility to operate on either wing.
The exciting winger could also become Fulham’s record signing at £35m, marginally beating the £34.6m arrival of Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk.
