Crystal Palace keen on “incredible” £50k-p/w forward with same agent as Pino
da bwin： Crystal Palace are now “interested” in signing an “incredible” Premier League forward, with his club “willing” to sanction a departure.
Palace looking to upgrade attacking options
da blaze casino： Despite Palace suffering a setback against Manchester City on Sunday, falling to a 3-0 home defeat against the title contenders, they remain in a very strong position as we approach the half-way stage of the season, currently sitting in fifth place.
If Oliver Glasner’s side are going to sustain their push for Europe, however, they may need to improve their attacking options, having scored 20 Premier League goals this season, only one more than 18th-placed West Ham United.
Yeremy Pino was one of the Eagles’ key summer signings, but the 23-year-old hasn’t exactly been prolific in the Premier League thus far, registering just two goal contributions in 14 games.
The goalscoring burden has largely been placed on Jean-Philippe Mateta, with the Frenchman already finding the back of the net nine times in all competitions this season, but the South Londoners are now keen to provide him with some additional support in attack.
That is according to former scout Mick Brown, who recently told Football Insider that Crystal Palace are now keen on Manchester City forward Oscar Bobb, saying: “They’ve been keeping tabs on him and he’s certainty somebody they’re interested in, because I believe Man City would be willing to let him go.”
Brown also suggested the Norwegian could be an ideal signing for Palace, saying: “Oscar Bobb is a very talented player, that’s obvious,
“So it’s no surprise when you hear there is interest from a team like Crystal Palace, where they’ve got a reputation for developing young talents into better players.
“In that respect it might be a perfect move for him and for Palace.”
Bobb could be "incredible" signing for the Eagles
Lauded as “incredible” by former footballer Jan Aage Fjortoft, the 22-year-old made his breakthrough at Man City in the 2023-24 campaign, and he has since gone on to make 46 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side, chipping in with three goals and four assists.
The Oslo-born ace, who is represented by the same agent as Pino, is also an extremely impressive dribbler, averaging 3.39 successful take-ons per 90 over the past year, and 3.71 progressive carries, which places him in the top 1%, when compared to his positional peers.

Not only does the Norway international pose an attacking threat, but he is also willing to pitch in at the opposite end of the pitch, according to Pep, who said earlier this season: “Oscar defensively is a machine, he helped us a lot and in the final third.”
Given the number of attackers Pep has at his disposal, Bobb’s game time has been limited this season, often only being used as a substitute, so the £50k-a-week winger may need to leave Man City for the good of his career, and it is exciting news that Palace are interested.
