Abdukodir Khusanov: Man City sign Uzbekistan international defender from Lens

14 January 2025, 15:14

Manchester City have signed defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens for £33.5m.

The centre-back has joined the Premier League champions on a four-and-a-half-year contract which also contains the option of a further year until June 2030.

The move helps City secure well-needed defensive reinforcement after contending with several injury problems this term, which included setbacks for centre-backs John Stones and Ruben Dias.

Khusanov becomes the first Uzbekistan player to sign for a Premier League club, having been capped 18 times.
