Manchester City are reportedly facing competition from Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in their pursuit of Ligue 1 defender Abdukodir Khusanov. The 20-year-old currently plies his trade at RC Lens and has been linked with a move to the Etihad, as the reigning Premier League champions are poised to strengthen their defensive department.
Manchester City have been ravaged by injuries this season, which has consequently led to their poor run of form. While some of the club’s players have returned to action, they are still yet to get their rhythm. As such, Pep Guardiola is keen to cast his net wide in the ongoing transfer window in search of reinforcements.
Abdukodir Khusanov has emerged as a key defensive target for City lately, with the Premier League side reportedly asked to pay £20 million by RC Lens for the Uzbekistan international. It was further said that the Cityzens are reportedly eager to accelerate the deal amid interest in the player from other clubs.
