Marco Silva’s Fulham are looking to beat Tottenham to the signature of Manchester City attacking sensation Oscar Bobb.
Oscar Bobb’s future has been a massive talking point for weeks, as he hasn’t had enough game time under Pep Guardiola and is willing to leave the club. Multiple top clubs in the country are aware of his situation and are willing to battle it out for his signature.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fulham are looking to beat the competition to sign the 22-year-old winger. The Cottagers have put forward a proposal worth £35 million, as they look to strike a deal with Manchester City.
Bobb joined the City youth setup in the summer of 2019. He went up the ranks at some pace and got promoted to the first team in the summer of 2023. He has only gone from strength to strength since.
The Norwegian winger has been involved in 47 matches and has contributed towards seven goals. While he is quite highly regarded by people at the club, the 22-year-old has struggled to get regular game time under Guardiola.
Bobb looks set to leave City this month
Having racked up just 739 minutes in the first half of the season, Bobb isn’t pleased about his situation. Meanwhile, Antoine Semenyo’s arrival from Bournemouth pushes him further down the pecking order. As a result, the City graduate is keen on leaving the club, and the Manchester-based giants are ready to negotiate his departure.
As per a report from Football Insider, Tottenham have been keeping tabs on him and would love to add him to their squad. Thomas Frank seeks more quality in the final third after a disappointing start, and the versatile Bobb can certainly help their cause.
Not only will he add more quality on the flanks, but he could also cover for James Maddison or Xavi Simons when needed. However, it seems Fulham are doing everything in their power to beat Spurs to his signature.
They are in talks to sign him on a permanent basis and have already put forward an offer worth £35 million. Negotiations between both parties continue, as they look to reach a common ground. While there are other top clubs that want Bobb, the Cottagers are moving quickly to ensure they can sign him.
