Oscar Bobb set for Fulham medical ahead of Manchester City exit

Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb is on the verge of completing a permanent move to Fulham, with the player scheduled to undergo a medical ahead of the transfer.

Deal agreed with Fulham

According to Sky Sports News reporters Lyall Thomas and Adrian Kajumba, a £27 million agreement has been reached between Manchester City and Fulham for Bobb’s services.

The deal includes a 20% sell-on clause, with City retaining matching rights if Fulham eventually decide to sell Bobb to another club.

Fulham’s transfer strategy

Fulham prioritised signing another winger to replace Adama Traore, who recently joined West Ham. In addition to Bobb, the club is actively seeking to reinforce their squad with a young striker and a midfielder.

The west London side have reportedly been in discussions with PSV Eindhoven for striker Ricardo Pepi and Udinese for midfielder Arthur Attra as part of their January transfer plans.

Impact on Manchester City

Bobb’s departure will reduce Manchester City’s attacking options, but the club have already strengthened their squad with Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth earlier this month. The Norwegian winger’s exit provides him an opportunity to secure regular playing time at Fulham and revitalise his career ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Conclusion

Oscar Bobb is poised to finalise his move to Fulham following a medical, marking the end of his spell at Manchester City. The transfer aligns with Fulham’s January recruitment drive and offers the winger a chance to restart his career with consistent first-team football.
