Man City clinch two more contract extensions as Oscar Bobb and Josh Wilson-Esbrand sign for the long term
03.02.2022 - 20:42 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City have made another big investment in their future by securing new deals for promising academy starlets Oscar Bobb and Josh Wilson-Esbrand.
The two teenagers have both penned long-term deals with the Blues, after extensions to the contracts of Joao Cancelo and James McAtee were announced on Tuesday and yesterday respectively.
And with South American Footballer of the Year Julian Alvarez signed ahead of Monday's transfer deadline day, City have had a big week in terms of their strategic team planning.
Left-back Wilson-Esbrand, who made an impressive City debut in the 6-1 Carabao Cup win over Wycombe in September, has landed a five-year deal taking him to 2027, while winger Bobb has signed up until 2026.
Bobb is a Norway under-18 international who has become a regular for the City under-23 side in Premier League 2 and leads the assists charts for them, with seven - plus five goals - in 17 starts.
That earned him his first appearance in the senior squad, as he was on the bench for the FA Cup win at Swindon last month, without making it onto the field.
Wilson-Esbrand has already tasted first-team life, making the starting line-up against Wycombe, when he helped to make up an entire back four of debutants, with Finley Burns, Luke Mbete and Conrad Egan-Riley.
Manchester City have started their campaign strongly, sitting at the Premier League summit and easily qualifiying for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
