Fulham close in on Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb | OneFootball

Fulham are nearing an agreement to sign Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb (22), BBC Sport reports, as Marco Silva looks to strengthen his squad for the final stretch of the Premier League season.

The 22-year-old has struggled for game time at City, falling down the pecking order following the January arrival of Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo. Bobb has made 15 appearances this season without scoring, and his most recent outing came in December, when he was forced off injured against Brentford in the Carabao Cup.

Pep Guardiola confirmed the winger’s desire to leave, saying: “I think so,” when asked if Bobb wants a move away from the Etihad. Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund had also expressed interest, but Fulham appear to have the edge in negotiations.

Bobb, who missed almost the entirety of last season after fracturing a bone in his leg during training in August 2024, would join compatriot Sander Berge at Craven Cottage. The Cottagers have been in strong form, losing just once in their last seven league games, and currently sit seventh in the table following a 2-1 win over Brighton on Saturday.

Fulham are also pursuing PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi, submitting a £28m bid as Silva looks to bolster attacking options alongside Bobb.
