Man City whiz Bobb: Haaland a huge help

Manchester City midfielder Oscar Bobb has revealed the major influence fellow Norwegian Erling Haaland has had on him.

Bobb signed a new contract with City on Monday.

On Haaland, he told the club's website: "It helps a lot [having Erling in the set-up].

It's nice to have him, to have someone to talk to, to ask for advice, everything.

He's achieved a lot of the things I dream of achieving so having him around, helping me develop and just helping me settle in this year, it's helped me a lot."

Bobb also said: "It's amazing playing with some of my idols growing up. It's a dream come true.

It's strange talking to my friends back home and they always ask 'how is it, how is it?'. In a way it is crazy but you do get used to it.

You start seeing them as people and not stars. And that's nice.

I think of course you build that trust over time. But every day training together, it helps a lot.

I think it's about how much you demand it and want the ball as well.

I think I'm getting better at wanting it more and being more confident. But yes it's great to see.

I was training quite a few times with the first team last year. And even though there is a skill gap, you could say, I did feel I could contribute or help with some things and I feel every day in training I'm getting better and more used to it."
