Tottenham have scouted Abdukodir Khusanov regularly ahead of the January window as RC Lens could brace for an approach.
According toCaught Offside, Abdukodir Khusanov has definitive interest coming from Tottenham ahead of the January window. The 20-year-old Ligue 1 prodigy has been in imperious form for RC Lens this season, as the French side could have an opportunity to make a major profit on the Uzbekistan defender.
At only 20 years of age, Abdukodir Khusanov is already making a lot of headlines for his style of play and growing influence on the RC Lens side. The Uzbekistan defender has started all but two games for the club this season, as he missed those encounters due to a suspension following a red card against PSG.
In any case, he already has a growing influence on Will Still’s side, as a host of top clubs are already looking to sign him ahead of January. The 20-year-old Ligue 1 prodigy will have to play an important role for RC Lens this season, although the Ligue 1 side could also potentially look to profit off his sale.
Following a modest investment of under £100,000, RC Lens could reportedly demand £25 million for the 20-year-old defender. This would represent massive profit for the French side and may not be a problem for some of the interested Premier League sides.
Newcastle United are interested in the defender, as Eddie Howe wants to bring in reinforcements to bolster his backline. The Magpies are in a very good position to add the young star to their team and probably offer him far better game time than some of their Premier League rivals might offer namely Tottenham.
Tottenham scout Abdukodir Khusanov
Tottenham have reportedly scouted Khusanov for some time as they are interested in the young Uzbek defender. They are not alone in the race, as apart from nrwcastle United, there are also the likes ofChelsea and PSG showing an interest in signing the RC Lens star.
Tottenham could have a good enough lure for players like Khusanov, as the salary on offer could prove massively tempting for the young defender to turn down. The only negative factor in the chase is Spurs’ ability to allow Khusanov regular game time, as he could potentially become their fourth-choice central defender should he arrive.
