Fulham confirm second January signing as £27m Oscar Bobb joins from Man City | OneFootball

Midfielder may not be the last new face through the door before Monday’s transfer deadline

Fulham have confirmed the signing of Oscar Bobb from Manchester City in a deal worth £27million.

The 22-year-old has not played in over a month due to a hamstring injury, so may not be fit enough to make the matchday squad on Sunday.

He will wear the No14 shirt.

Bobb told the club’s official website: “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 [Berge], 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.”

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!

“Welcome, Oscar! Come on Fulham!”

Bobb becomes Fulham’s first signing of the January window and bolsters their attacking ranks following the departure of Adama Traore to West Ham.

The Cottagers also hold a longstanding interest in PSV Eindhoven forward Ricardo Pepi, but Standard Sport understands there are currently no talks between the two clubs.

Fulham had submitted a bid for the American international, but talks have subsequently broken down, and it is unclear whether they will resume before next Monday’s deadline.
