After being one of the main protagonists of the summer transfer market, Chelsea already appear to have new targets to strengthen their squad and have now set their sights on Manchester City’s defense.

According to information from The Sun, the London club are interested in Abdukodir Khusanov, a 22-year-old defender who currently plays for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Chelsea step up their pursuit again

The Blues continue to explore options to strengthen their squad, and Khusanov has emerged as one of the names said to have sparked interest at Stamford Bridge.

The Uzbek footballer arrived at Manchester City as a signing for the future and, at just 22 years old, fits the profile of the young players the club are looking for with long-term potential.

A new target within the Premier League

The possible interest in Khusanov would also mean Chelsea are once again looking within the Premier League itself to strengthen their squad.

For now, it is a reported interest rather than a completed deal. Manchester City would have to assess any proposal for a player who still forms part of their plans, while Chelsea continue to monitor his situation closely.
