Abdukodir Khusanov is reportedly open to making a big career switch this month away from RC Lens amid his links with Manchester City.
According to The Sun, Abdukodir Khusanov is open to joining a top club in the winter transfer window as an exit from RC Lens looms large. Several clubs from the Premier League are chasing the defensive sensation, who the Ligue 1 club value at £20 million, with Manchester City seemingly ahead in the race.
Abdukodir Khusanov could be a big story in this month’s transfer window as he nears an exit from RC Lens. The Ligue 1 side are not opposed to a sale if they can get around the £20 million mark for the promising centre-back.
Khusanov has established himself as a key member of the RC lens defence, and it will certainly deplete their quality if he were to depart. However, the prospect of bringing in good money from a sale is what the French club might prioritise, as the Uzbeki defender certainly has several suitors lining up a move this month.
Tottenham and Newcastle United are interested, while there are others closely monitoring his situation. For most, the £20 million price point might be a source of bother, considering the limited experience Abdukodir Khusanov has at the top level.
Tottenham fear losing out on the defender as Manchester City are now considered the biggest suitor in the chase. Pep Guardiola’s side have approached the RC Lens star, although he is not seen someone improve their fortunes instantly, and instead viewed as a top prospect.
Abdukodir Khusanov wants big career move
In what might seem like a big boost to Manchester City, the £20 million-rated Ligue 1 defensive sensation is now keen on a switch to a big club. Despite understanding the fact that Khusanov might not be a key part of one of the top Premier League sides like Manchester City, he is still willing to make the move.
RC Lens will be open to the idea of a sale, and Manchester City would be in a good position to invest the right amount in the 20-year-old defender. It remains to be seen if Guardiola’s side faces any complications in their chase going ahead, although they are the current favourites to land Abdukodir Khusanov.
