Chelsea eye Khusanov ahead of January move

Recent reports indicate that Chelsea are interested in signing Abdukodir Khusanov, a defender for Manchester City, during the upcoming winter transfer window, with the club monitoring the player's situation in preparation for a potential offer in January.

Chelsea's interest in Uzbek defender Abdukodir Khusanov comes as the club aims to bolster their defensive line, with Khusanov seen as a suitable player for the team's style of play, according to a report by Mark Bruce.

Abdukodir Khusanov has renewed his contract with Manchester City in July, signing a new deal that runs until June 2031, after impressing during his first full season with the club.

Despite this, there are currently no official negotiations or offer from Chelsea, as matters are limited to monitoring and initial interest, which makes the possibility of his transfer in January dependent on Manchester City's position and the player over the coming months.
