Oscar Bobb missed almost the whole of last season with a fractured bone in his leg Fulham have signed Norway winger Oscar Bobb from Manchester City for £27m. Bobb, 22, has agreed a five-and-a-half-year contract at Craven Cottage and will wear the number 14 shirt. "It feels great to be here. I had a great day meeting everyone and I'm very excited, " Bobb said. He added that he consulted Fulham midfielder Sander Berge, his Norway team-mate, before agreeing to the move. "I spoke to Sander, my good friend, and I spoke to the manager, and he explained what the system's like, and how the lads are, and how the club is, " Bobb said. "He seemed lovely, so it was an easy decision basically. " Bobb is a graduate of Manchester City's academy and made 47 appearances for the senior side, scoring three and assisting four across all competitions. Sources say City will retain a 20% sell-on clause, as well as matching rights for any future bids received by the Cottagers. An example of this being exercised by City came in the summer when they re-signed goalkeeper James Trafford from Burnley after they also accepted a bid from Newcastle. How Man City have turned player sales into big business West Ham sign winger Traore from Fulham Bobb has fallen down the pecking order at City after the January arrival of Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth. "I know there are rumours, I know there are talks, " manager Pep Guardiola said on Saturday after City's win over Wolves. Asked if Bobb wants to leave the club, Guardiola replied: "I think so. " Bobb, who has also had interest from Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, has featured 15 times for City this season without scoring. He last played on 17 December against Brentford in the Carabao Cup, when he hobbled off injured inside the opening 20 minutes. Fulham have lost only one of their last seven Premier League games under Silva and sit seventh in the table following their 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday. Bobb has featured six times for Norway this year, helping them qualify for this summer's World Cup, and would unite with compatriot Sander Berge at Craven Cottage. He missed almost the whole of last season after fracturing a bone in his leg during training in August 2024.
