There are not exactly a lot of players from Uzbekistan in the Premier League, if I’m not completely mistaken, Abdukodir Khusanov, who currently plays for Ligue 1 club Lens, will be the fourth ever.
This could be a very good deal for Lens, who signed the 20-year-old centre-back last summer from Energetik-BGU Minsk for €100,000. – Transfermarkt has put the value at €5 million, while it is estimated at over €10 million in a move to the Premier League.

The Telegraph writes that both Tottenham and Newcastle are working to secure a transfer for Abdukodir Khusanov in January.
The French press describes the 186 cm tall defender as both tough and technically good, which is a bit unusual.
