Manchester City is expected to have the second Asian player ever.
European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said on the 3rd (Korea time), "Manchester City added RC Lance center back Abdukodir Husanov to the January recruitment list. There are some top clubs interested in a 20-year-old center back. Husanov is considered one of the most outstanding talents at center back. The race has begun, and Manchester City are well aware of this."
If Husanov moves to Manchester City, he will be the second Asian player in the club's history.
Uzbekistan center back Fusanov, who was born in 2004, has a solid physical condition of 186 centimeters. He has high expectations in his country as he has already played 14 games since his debut in the Uzbekistan national team in 2023.
He also showed remarkable performance as a representative by age group. At the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-20 Asian Cup, he played as a starting center back and led the team to the championship by conceding only one goal, and advanced to the 2024 Paris Olympics by reaching the semifinals last year.
He made his professional debut in 2022 at the age of just 18 for energetic minsk. After playing one season and moving to France's lance in 2023, Husanov became the first Uzbek player in Ligue 1.
He showed good performance from his debut match and made his UEFA Champions League debut against Arsenal. He mostly played as a candidate center back and played a total of 15 matches, displaying potential.
Fusanov, who is gradually gaining opportunities to play in this season, was nominated as the Rookie of the Month award in October last year and eventually won the honor. He was also selected as one of the top 11 players in the league in the first half of the year, and has emerged as a major center back that Europe is paying attention to.
Premier League teams including Newcastle, Arsenal, and Chelsea have been eyeing Hussanov's talent, and it has been reported that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) from the same league is also considering recruiting Hussanov. Tottenham Hotspur, Son's team, is also known to be one of the teams aiming for Hussanov.
Manchester City is also expected to heat up the transfer market this winter. Given that Romano pointed Manchester City as his destination and that there is no team to beat Manchester City in terms of financial power, it is highly likely that Husanov will become Manchester City's first recruit and historically the second recruit after the acquisition of "Oil Money" in the Middle East.
If Hussanov heads to Manchester City, Hussanov will become the second Asian player in Manchester City's club history.
Sun Jihai, a Chinese legend center back, is the only Asian player who has played for Manchester City. Sun Jihai worked for Manchester City from 2002 to 2008.
Currently, there are players who have played for Manchester City in Australia, which belongs to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), but geographically, they belong to Oceania, and most of all, Australia was not a member of the AFC during the period when these players played.
Considering that Sunji High also played until just before Manchester City began to become a strong team with oil money, Husanov will be the first Asian player to play for Manchester City, which has been reborn as a big club. 메이저사이트
Neither Korean nor Japanese players have been able to knock on Manchester City's door, but as a large center back came out of Uzbekistan, it is worth looking forward to entering Manchester City.
