  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    A full agreement has been struck between both teams and only a few details need to be sorted over the weekend before the transfer is sealed, Julien Laurens reports. City will pay €40 million (£34m/$41m) for the centre-back, Fabrizio Romano reports, with Khusanov to undergo a medical in the coming days.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    City boss Pep Guardiola has demanded January signings following a string of defensive injuries and now he appears to have got his man in the talented 20-year-old. The struggling Premier League defending champions have been shipping more goals this season than in campaigns gone by and perhaps Khusanov can help with that issue.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    Khusanov, who joined Lens from Belarusian Premier League team Energetik-BGU in 2023, has already racked up 18 caps for Uzbekistan. He has also only played 31 times for the Ligue 1 outfit but looks set for a big-money move.
