Oscar Bobb has become the latest player AS Roma want to add to their squad this summer as they continue their search for a new winger.
The Italian club have been linked with several wide players during the transfer window, including Antonio Nusa, as they look to strengthen that area of the squad ahead of their return to the Champions League. Roma believe adding more quality on the wings will improve their chances of competing at the highest level.
According to Football Italia, Roma have added Bobb to their list of transfer targets as they continue searching for reinforcements. The report states that the Fulham winger has emerged as one of the players the club are considering for the position.
Roma identify Bobb as target
Bobb only joined Fulham from Manchester City during the January transfer window, and he has already established himself as one of the club’s key players. The Cottagers regard the attacker as an important member of the squad, and Alvaro Arbeloa is keen to keep him as part of his plans.
Roma, however, believe Bobb has the qualities needed to become an important player under Gian Piero Gasperini. The Italian side are eager to strengthen their attacking options and see the winger as someone capable of making a significant contribution.
Fulham face transfer interest
Fulham are expected to resist any attempt to sign Bobb because they value him highly and do not want to lose one of their promising attackers. Roma may therefore need to submit a substantial offer if they hope to persuade the Premier League club to consider a sale.
Bobb would welcome the opportunity to compete in the Champions League, making Roma an attractive option if a move becomes possible. However, he also enjoys life in London and would like to continue playing in the Premier League.
The outcome of the transfer will depend on whether Roma are willing to meet Fulham’s demands. For now, the Premier League club remain in a strong position, but interest from the Italian side means Bobb’s future could remain a talking point throughout the remainder of the transfer window.
