Yahoo Sports 'A very proud moment' - Khusanov joins City
New signing Abdukodir Khusanov says he is "more than ready" for the challenge of playing for Manchester City.
The 20-year-old becomes the first player from Uzbekistan to join a Premier League club after making the move from Ligue 1 side Lens, where he made 31 appearances.
"This squad is full of the best players in the world, and I can't wait to meet them and play alongside them," Khusanov said.
"And, of course, Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest coaches ever and I am so excited to learn from him and improve my game even more.
"This is a very proud moment for me and my family to be joining a great club like Manchester City and I'm more than ready for this challenge."
Director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "We are all very excited about what he will bring.
"For such a young defender, Abdukodir is already very intelligent, as well as being strong, aggressive and extremely quick.
"Working with Pep will only make him better."
What do you make of the new signing, City fans? What the club needed? Will he fit straight into the side?
