Chelsea’s rumoured chase for Abdukodir Khusanov hides a very inconvenient truth

Chelsea have reportedly registered an interest in Manchester City defender Abdukodir Khusanov to reinforce their defensive options. According to Mark Brus' Daily Briefing, the club views the 22-year-old as an ideal fit for their tactical system. A potential permanent transfer bid in the upcoming January window is reportedly under consideration.

The pursuit highlights perceived shortcomings in Chelsea's backline early in the campaign following the closure of the previous transfer window. However, the report notes Khusanov remains valued within Enzo Maresca's plans and continues to earn playing time across multiple competitions.
