According to The Times, Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov has the potential to become a standout player for Manchester City. The 20-year-old is noted for his speed, which was comparable to that of Kyle Walker at the peak of his career.
Manchester City acquired Husanov for 40 mln euros, a significant increase from the 100,000 euros that French club Lens paid for him a year and a half ago. The Times’ columnists are not surprised by this rapid rise in the player’s value.
Coaches and former teammates in France highly regard Khusanov’s talents, considering him one of the most promising players. His strengths include speed, stamina, and the ability to play in various positions. He quickly builds strong relationships with teammates and coaches.
Despite making a few serious mistakes in his first match for Manchester City, experts believe that Khusanov’s value could rise to 100 mln euros. It is important to note that he had only participated in two training sessions with his new team before the game against Chelsea, which indicates that he needs time to adapt.
Khusanov’s transfer to Manchester City is expected to attract a significant following for the club in Uzbekistan. Furthermore, the spotlight on Uzbek soccer may help other young Central Asian players gain more recognition for their talents.
Kyle Walker, an English soccer player and captain of Manchester City, is renowned for his speed and strength and is regarded as one of the best defenders in world soccer.
