Man City ‘top player’ is now likely to get a January transfer as Tottenham lurk

A Manchester City star, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, is expected to be on the move within the next two weeks.

It appears that the Lilywhites are set to face defeat in their pursuit of two big-name Man City attackers this month.

Reports indicate that neither Savinho nor Omar Marmoush would be allowed to join Spurs this month, as Pep Guardiola’s men are keen to keep both players.

However, those two are not the only City players on Tottenham’s radar. It has been claimed that Oscar Bobb is on Spurs’ January wishlist after seeing his minutes dwindle at the Etihad Stadium this term.

Tottenham target Oscar Bobb is expected to leave Man City

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now predicted that the Norway international will exit the Manchester club before the end of the month.

Following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo, O’Rourke feels that the City academy starlet will decide to head elsewhere to get regular football under his belt.

The journalist told Football Insider about the Spurs target: “I think there’s a strong possibility he could leave, especially now following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo. It’s pushed him even further down the pecking order in Pep Guardiola’s plans.

“He’s injured at the minute, so that might put a question mark over his possible departure in the January transfer window, but I don’t think it’s a serious injury.

“I think for Oscar Bobb himself, he probably needs to be playing regularly after a couple of injuries and seasons which have delayed his development. He’s a top player, there is no getting away from that.

“He’ll be going with Norway to the World Cup in the summer, so he’ll be keen to be playing regular first team football in the second half of season.”

Spurs expected to face competition for Oscar Bobb

It has been claimed that Borussia Dortmund, Fulham and Crystal Palace are ready to challenge Tottenham for Bobb’s signature.

In fact, some sources have even suggested that Palace may have an advantage over Spurs in the race for the Man City man.

It remains unclear how much Guardiola’s men will demand for the Norwegian starlet and where he ranks in Tottenham’s winger wishlist.
