Fulham have confirmed the signing of Oscar Bobb in a £27m deal from Manchester City.
The agreement contains a 20 per cent sell-on clause and City also have matching rights should Fulham sell Bobb, who has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal at Craven Cottage, on to another club.
Speaking to FFCtv, the 22-year-old said: “It feels great to be here. I had a great day meeting everyone and I’m very excited.
“I’ve always known Fulham to be a good club, with good players and a great stadium. 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.
“He seemed lovely, so it was an easy decision basically.”
Several teams in the Bundesliga and Premier League were interested in signing Bobb, but the club have now secured crucial reinforcements for Marco Silva out wide, following the departure of Adama Traore to West Ham.
Harry Wilson, who leads the team in goals scored and assists, is also increasingly likely to leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Vice chairman and director of football operations Tony Khan added: “I’m thrilled to welcome Oscar Bobb to Fulham! He is an exciting young player who is eager to come and play for the club, as we aim to continue the team’s positive momentum through the second half of the season and plan for a promising future!”
Bobb joined City as a youngster from Valarenga in 2019 and broke into the first-team squad in 2023-24. However, he missed all of last season with a broken leg suffered in pre-season.
Bobb has made 15 appearances for City this term, while also helping Norway qualify for the World Cup.
He has not played since starting City’s Carabao Cup match against Brentford on December 17, where he was forced off with an injury inside 20 minutes.
