Oscar Bobb has recently signed a new contract with Manchester City, and manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his thoughts on the talented youngster following this announcement.

Bobb’s new deal will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029, with a significant increase in salary to around £50,000 per week. This comes as a just reward for Bobb’s exceptional performances this season, including a crucial injury-time winner against Newcastle United in January.

Guardiola has praised Bobb’s work ethic, highlighting it as the standout quality of the young Norwegian player. The manager spoke about Bobb’s commitment and application, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a high level of performance to stay at the top level for an extended period.

He said (via mancity.com): “He deserves it. I’m very happy. [The most impressive thing about him]? Application [and] his commitment and work ethic. Without the application, he would not be here.

“[But] the most difficult part is now for Oscar. Arrive, and to make an impact is the most easiest one.

“The really difficult one is to stay there for a long time and the minutes you play to perform well and earn more minutes… that is the part that is most difficult.

“For a young player to arrive and make some appearances, many can do it. But to be in the Premier League and to be at City for many years… this is the most difficult thing.”

As City prepares for their FA Cup fifth-round clash with Luton Town, there is a possibility that Bobb will be in the starting lineup following his rest over the weekend. Guardiola has no hesitation in selecting Bobb for key matches, recognizing his potential and impact on the team.

Bobb’s dedication and hard work have set him apart at Manchester City, with Guardiola acknowledging the young player’s continuous improvement. The manager’s praise for Bobb’s work rate reflects the club’s emphasis on developing well-rounded players who contribute both technically and physically to the team’s success.

Overall, Bobb’s new contract and Guardiola’s comments highlight the promising future ahead for the young talent at Manchester City. With a strong work ethic and a commitment to improvement, Bobb is well-positioned to thrive at one of the top clubs in world football.
