Manchester City sign £33.8m defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens
Club also expected to add Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush‘This squad is full of the best players in the world,’ he says
Manchester City have confirmed the signing of the defender Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens in a deal understood to be worth €40m (£33.8m) plus add-ons. The 20-year-old is the club’s first January signing and City also have a deal in principle to buy the forward Omar Marmoush from Eintracht Frankfurt.
Khusanov, poised to become the first Uzbeki to play in the Premier League, has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal. Lens are making a huge profit on a centre-back they bought for €100,000 from the Belarusian club Energetik-BGU in July 2023.
