Chelsea 'make contact' with Man City defender Abdukodir Khusanov

Chelsea have reportedly reached out to the representatives of Man City defender Abdukodir Khusanov ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old has emerged as a first team regular under Pep Guardiola since the turn of the year, starting 21 games across all competitions in 2026.

Khusanov could well fall down the pecking order with both Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol expected to return from their injuries soon.

According to journalist Aaron Ramiro, Chelsea are ready to try their luck and have reached out to Khusanov’s representatives.

It’s understood that Chelsea are planning a major overhaul of their centre-backs this summer, and Khusnaov is a potential option.
