The play of Abdukadir Khusanov, who moved from Lens to Manchester City during the winter transfer window, is attracting the attention of football fans. The 21-year-old Uzbek defender quickly adapted to English football and strengthened his place in the team. Abdukadir regularly appears in the starting lineup and is recognized for playing at a high level in every match.
Khusanov's active and reliable play is helping to close the problems in Manchester City's defensive line. Although the team lost three valuable points in the match against Nottingham Forest in the 28th round, Abdukadir's impact on the defense was felt. In the 83rd minute, Callum Hudson-Odoi, who had not been able to get past Abdukadir Khusanov's area, left Josko Guardiola behind and scored the goal for Ederson.
Nevertheless, Manchester City manager Josep Guardiola, despite the defeat of his team, acknowledged the good play of Abdukadir Khusanov and Ruben Diaz: "Our two central defenders are playing very well! We don't have any other central defenders left. But with Abdukadir Khusanov and Ruben Diaz on the field, we are playing very well."
Since joining Manchester City, Abdukadir Khusanov has played in seven matches in the Premier League, the domestic cup and the European Champions League, performing his duties in defense and scoring one goal.
Uzbekistan national team defender Abbosbek Fayzullaev, who watched every match of Abdukadir at Manchester City, said that he is doing well: "We are close friends with Khusanov. We are in the same room at national team training camps. We communicate often. I can say that he is doing well. In any case, it is not easy to show yourself in one of the most difficult championships in the world, and especially in a club like Manchester City."
Abdukadir Khusanov's transfer to Manchester City was a truly big event, as he became the first Uzbek player in the English Premier League. The Manchesterers paid Lens a transfer fee of 40 million euros and set a bonus of another 10 million euros. His contract with the club runs until 2029, and he has the option to extend the contract for another year.
Abdukadir Khusanov's successes at Manchester City are helping to define a new stage in Uzbek football. There are many opinions about his future, and many are interested in what other great results Abdukadir will achieve. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
