Oscar Bobb has signed a new five-year contract to stay at Manchester City until the summer of 2029.

The 20-year-old Norway forward has made 16 appearances for this City this term, with his last-minute Premier League winner at Newcastle one of his two goals for Pep Guardiola's side.

His previous contract at the club had been due to expire in June 2026.

"It's an incredible environment and the best possible place to be for a young player," Bobb said.

Bobb, who joined City from Valerenga in 2019 and made his international debut last October, added: "I have already learnt so much from Pep, his coaching staff and my team-mates.

"To know I'm 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 director of football, Txiki Begiristain added: "Oscar is blessed with superb natural talent and technique and has already established himself as a very important member of the squad."
