Since December 2024, the 20-year-old defender from central Asia has emerged as a favourite prospect to bolster Pep Guardiola’s exhausted backline and City have successfully secured their target.

Last summer, Abdukodir Khusanov who has 18 International caps for Uzbekistan joined Lens from Belarussian club Energetik-BGU Minsk for a transfer fee of £83,000. Since then, the talented centre-back has amassed 31 first-team appearances for the French outfit.
