Man City hand Oscar Bobb new long-term contract

Manchester City attacker Oscar Bobb, has extended his contract with the club until 2029. The 20-year-old player from Norway has already played in 16 matches this season and scored two goals.

One of these was the winning goal in the last minute of 3-2 win at Newcastle last month. "I am very proud and honoured to have signed my new contract with City," said Bobb, whose previous contract was set to end in 2026.

"It is an incredible environment and the best possible place to be for a young player. I have already learnt so much from (manager) Pep (Guardiola), his coaching staff and my team-mates. To know I am going to be here at the club until 2029 means everything to me.

"Now I just want to focus on continuing to further my development and to work as hard as I can every day to try and help the club achieve more success."

City's director of football Txiki Begiristain feels there is plenty more to come from Bobb, whose first senior goal came on his full Champions League debut against Red Star Belgrade in December.

"Oscar is blessed with superb natural talent and technique and has already established himself as a very important member of the squad," Begiristain said on the club's website.

"He is an exciting young player who is always hungry to learn and who takes on board all the advice and guidance Pep and the coaching staff provide him with.

"We have been delighted to watch his progression from our academy through to the first team and to see his fantastic ability, attitude and application continue to prosper. Oscar is
