"Manchester City has entered the race to sign Abdulkodir Khosanov."

In addition to Manchester City, other top European clubs are also showing interest in the talented defender.

Husanov joined Lens from the Belarusian club Energetik-BGU Minsk in the summer of 2023, signing a four-year contract. Despite a relatively quiet move to Stade Bollaert-Delelis, the 20-year-old player has emerged as one of the most promising defenders in Europe.

His outstanding performances in the current Ligue 1 season have caught the attention of major clubs like Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, both of which have already expressed interest in signing him.

While Newcastle has yet to decide on initiating talks with Lens, Tottenham is reportedly ready to make an official offer. Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig are also in the running for Husanov's signature.

Recognizing Husanov's potential, renowned super-agent Jorge Mendes has taken charge of organizing his first major transfer. With his influential connections in the football world, Mendes could assist Lens in profitably selling their star this winter.
