Sevilla have had an up and down season so far, as their current place of 10th in the La Liga table shows. Los Nervionenses have ambitions to push for a European place in May, and in order to give themselves the best chance, they could turn to the transfer market when it opens later this week.
One area Sevilla intend to address is on the right wing, where he is light after the game. late sale of Dodi Lukebakio to Benfica during the summer transfer window. Matias Almeyda wants more pace and dynamism in his team, and that could come in the form of Manchester City and Norway star Oscar Bobb.

According to Caught OffsideSevilla have already submitted a loan offer for Bobb, who is almost certain to leave Man City in January. However, similar offers have also been sent by Fulham, Crystal Palace and Borussia Dortmund, which will make it very difficult for the Andalusians to find their man.

Bobb deal makes a lot of sense for Sevilla
Bobb is considered one of the top talents by Man City, but he has barely played this season – and his importance will diminish further when Antoine Semenyo joins Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth, which is expected to happen as early as this week. Sevilla could be the perfect place for him to get regular minutes, which could boost his position in Manchester when he returns this summer.

It will be interesting to see if Sevilla will be able to beat the chasing pack with the signing of Bobb. A loan would be ideal for Los Nervionenses, given transfers are unlikely to be considered as they need to raise €10m from player sales before June 30 – Defender Juanlu Sánchez is a prime candidate to sacrifice.
