FA Cup

Nottingham Forest

Manchester City

<p>Khusanov made history in January when he became the first player from Uzbekistan to play in the Premier League after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-abdukodir-khusanov-signing-imminent-reach-full-agreement-transfer-fee-lens/bltc942679bb22bcd65#cs2e65a0b631800d66" target="_blank">sealing a switch to Manchester City</a> in a deal worth €40 million (£34m/$41m). The defender has jetted back to his homeland during the international break and been given a hero's welcome by supporters. Khusanov also appears to have been gifted a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is worth around £135,000.</p><a class="twitter-timeline" href="https://twitter.com/JalolAkhmedov?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">Tweets by JalolAkhmedov</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Khusanov, who only turned 21 in in February, looked fairly overwhelmed by his new wheels but will have to get used to being in the spotlight after signing for Pep Guardiola's side and effectively becoming his country's most successful footballer in the process. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Khusanov will be in action for his country over the international break. Uzbekistan take on Kyrgyzstan and Iran in World Cup qualifiers in March.</p><p><strong></strong></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After leading his national team in World Cup qualifying, Khusanov will return to Manchester City in time for an FA Cup quarter-final tie with Bournemouth on March 30.</p>
