Fulham are closing in on an agreement to sign Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb as Marco Silva looks to strengthen his squad for the second half of the Premier League season. Talks between the two clubs are understood to be at an advanced stage, with the 22 year old increasingly open to a move after finding opportunities limited at the Etihad Stadium. Bobb has slipped down the pecking order following City’s January recruitment, and while he has featured 15 times this season, he has struggled to secure a consistent role in Pep Guardiola’s plans. Guardiola acknowledged discussions were ongoing and suggested the player is considering a departure in search of regular first team football.
Bobb’s campaign has been disrupted by both competition and fitness issues. He last appeared in December during a Carabao Cup tie against Brentford, where he was forced off early with injury, continuing a difficult spell following a serious leg fracture sustained in training last season. Despite those setbacks, his technical ability and versatility have remained attractive to Fulham, who have enjoyed a strong run of form under Silva. The west London club sit seventh in the table and have lost just once in their last seven league matches, positioning themselves as contenders for European qualification. A move to Craven Cottage would offer Bobb the chance to rebuild momentum in a system that values wide creativity and attacking movement.
Internationally, Bobb has continued to make progress, featuring regularly for Norway and contributing to their qualification for this summer’s World Cup. A switch to Fulham would also see him link up with fellow Norwegian Sander Berge, adding familiarity as he adapts to a new environment. Fulham remain active in the transfer market, with the club also pursuing attacking reinforcements elsewhere, underlining their ambition to sustain recent progress. If completed, the deal would represent a significant opportunity for Bobb to relaunch his Premier League career while giving Fulham another dynamic option in the final third.
