When Oscar Bobb slammed open the door to playing time in Manchester City’s first team, the Norwegian player quickly became one of Pep Guardiola’s favourites. Bobb’s footwork, speed, technique and finishing left one of the world’s best coaches gaping. Then came the injury, then the exit from City to get playing time and further development. The second half of last season’s start at Fulham was tough, but now Bobb is showing why Guardiola loved having him on the pitch.
Fulham have had a leaden start to the season with Alvaro Arbeloa, but last week Oscar Bobb was there with his football magic and match-winning goal against Coventry. A goal that was so spectacular that the 23-year-old has been nominated for the Premier League Round Player of the Year award.

Ronald Araujo (Liverpool), Mateus Fernandes (Tottenham), Gabriel (Arsenal), Nicolas Jackson (Aston Villa) and Rayan (Bournemouth) are the other nominees, for Bobb a real recognition of his hard work, guts and a football-god-given talent.
