Bio

One of Europe’s most promising defensive talents… 

Abdukodir Khusanov’s star has risen rapidly over the past couple of years. 

After coming to prominence at Uzbek side Bunyodkor, Khusanov moved to Belarus side Energetik-BGU aged 18. 

In June 2023, Khusanov won his first full cap for Uzbekistan, coming on as a sub against Oman and at the time he joined City, he had already won 18 caps for his country. 

The young centre-back’s performance caught the attention of Ligue 1 side Lens who him up in July 2023 him after just 37 appearances for Energetik-BGU and he became the first Uzbek to play in the French topflight as a result. 

Fast and powerful, Khusanov enjoys a physical battle and is an excellent tackler. 

He has played Champions League and Europa League games for Lens and had made just 31 appearances for the French side when Manchester City lodged a bid for the youngster’s services which proved successful.  

Now he will look to develop his game under Pep Guardiola, while honing his skills in training alongside the likes of fellow central defenders Ruben Dias, John Stones, Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji. 

An exciting prospect.
