Scouting Report & Player Insights
Oscar Bobb is a quick, tricky Norwegian wide forward who came through Manchester City's academy and operates mainly from the right, cutting inside onto his stronger left foot. His close control, low centre of gravity and burst of acceleration make him a constant threat in one-on-one situations against full-backs. A serious leg injury suffered in December 2023 disrupted his breakthrough momentum, and he has since worked to reclaim a regular role in Pep Guardiola's rotation. He remains a Norway international with clear technical upside for both club and country.
Academy graduate who broke into Manchester City's first team under Pep Guardiola.
Suffered a serious leg fracture in 2024 that kept him out for an extended spell.
Regular member of the Norway national team setup alongside players like Erling Haaland.
