Oscar Bobb
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.
