Tottenham are weighing up a major move for Manchester City winger Oscar Bobb, with a report claiming Spurs are preparing a €50 million (£43m) offer. The 22-year-old Norwegian has been linked with a City exit in recent weeks and is not described as a key player after dropping down the pecking order following January recruitment. City could be tempted if a bid arrives soon.
Tottenham Reportedly Prepare €50m Offer for Manchester City Winger Bobb
Oscar Bobb has been linked with a move away from Manchester City in recent weeks, with the 22-year-old described as a player who is not a key part of the side. The report says Bobb has slipped down the pecking order following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo in January.
According to Fichajes, Tottenham are preparing a €50 million (£43m) offer for the Norwegian attacker. It remains to be seen whether Spurs submit the bid in the next few days, but the report suggests the north London club are ready to provide Bobb with a way out as he looks for regular minutes.
The report adds Tottenham want more quality on the flanks and view Bobb as a useful addition, citing his technical attributes as a potential fit for the Premier League. It says regular football at Spurs could help him fulfil his potential and allow him to establish himself as an important player in London.
Manchester City are likely to be tempted if a €50 million offer is presented, the report says, describing it as a substantial fee for a fringe player. It also states Bobb has extensive Premier League experience and could settle quickly and make an immediate impact at Tottenham should the move happen this month.
The report also claims Tottenham have endured a disappointing season and are looking to respond strongly in the coming months by adding the right players in January, with improving the attack described as a priority. It says Spurs have looked toothless at times, and that Bobb would bring pace and unpredictability, with the club able to develop him further given his potential.
