Fulham sign Man City winger Oscar Bobb
Fulham signed Norway winger Oscar Bobb from Manchester City for a reported fee of £27 million ($37 million) on Friday.
The 22-year-old has joined Marco Silva's side on a five-and-a-half-year deal, which reportedly includes a 20 percent sell-on clause.
A graduate of City's youth academy, Bobb had slipped down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium after the arrival of Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo from Bournemouth earlier in January.
"It feels great to be here. I had a great day meeting everyone and I am very excited," Bobb told FFCtv.
"I have always known Fulham to be a good club, with good players and a great stadium."
Bobb sought insight from Norway teammate Sander Berge before the move to Craven Cottage.
"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 (Silva) seemed lovely, so it was an easy decision basically," he said.
Fulham, who visit Manchester United on Sunday, are seventh in the Premier League.
