<p>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, <a href="https://x.com/LaurensJulien/status/1877799978774511746" target="_blank">Julien Laurens reports</a>. City will pay €40 million (£34m/$41m) for the centre-back, <a href="https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/1877819527171281344?s=46" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano</a> reports, with Khusanov to undergo a medical in the coming days.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>City boss <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/pep-guardiola-man-city-january-transfer-window/bltb89151cff4557943" target="_blank">Pep Guardiola has demanded January signings</a> following a string of defensive injuries and now he appears to have got his man in the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/abdukodir-khusanov-europe-elite-signing-lens-defensive-monster-uzbekistan/bltdb5be9c43b16a2a9" target="_blank">talented 20-year-old.</a> 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.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

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

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It remains to be seen if Khusanov has played his last game for Lens and if he makes his City debut next week, with games against Brentford and Ipswich Town to come in the Premier League.</p>
