Fulham have agreed a £27 million transfer fee with Manchester City to sign Norwegian winger Oscar Bobb, according to sources close to the clubs. The deal, first reported last week, is now moving toward finalization with medical tests and personal terms expected to follow.
The 22‑year‑old winger, a product of City’s academy, has made limited first‑team appearances this season and is set to join Fulham in search of regular Premier League football. City will retain a 20 percent sell‑on clause and matching rights for any future transfer, giving them a stake in Bobb’s long-term career.
Bobb has impressed at youth and reserve levels and has represented Norway at senior international level. Analysts see the move as a chance for him to establish himself as a regular starter in the Premier League.
Fulham manager has reportedly pushed for the signing to strengthen the squad’s attacking options. The club aims to boost its performance in the league’s second half, where consistent attacking contributions are crucial.
The move also fits Manchester City’s broader transfer strategy, which includes managing squad depth and retaining financial rights on young talent. By keeping a percentage of any future sale, City ensures potential long-term returns from Bobb’s development.
Industry insiders describe the transfer as a strategic acquisition for Fulham, offering both immediate impact and long-term potential. The club will finalize formalities in the coming days, with Bobb expected to integrate into the squad quickly.
With the deal set, fans and analysts rate the signing as a 7/10, citing high potential but also noting the risk tied to Bobb’s limited top-flight experience. Fulham now look to leverage his creativity and pace as they target stronger results in the Premier League.
