Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has praised Abdukodir Khusanov for his impressive performance since joining the team in January. The young defender, who signed from Lens, played a key role in City’s 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.

Khusanov was making only his third appearance for City, but he showed great skill and confidence at the back. Guardiola highlighted the 20-year-old’s speed, passing ability, and humble attitude.

After the match, Guardiola spoke highly of Khusanov’s impact. He mentioned how the player traveled without any extra baggage, focusing only on football. The manager also shared how much the team already likes him, as he is always smiling and works hard without complaints.

Guardiola described Khusanov as a reliable player with extraordinary passing skills. He noted that while the young defender still has room for improvement, his speed and ability to break defensive lines make him a great asset.

City’s victory against Tottenham helped them move up to fourth place in the Premier League, overtaking Chelsea. With 47 points, they are now one point ahead of Chelsea, who have 46.

Khusanov’s strong performances have already impressed Guardiola, his teammates, and fans. If he continues to develop, he could become a key player for Manchester City in the future.
