Leeds is among the clubs interested in signing Uzbek central defender Abduqodir Khusanov from Lens. The transfer is set for this winter transfer window, with a price tag of 40 million euros set by Lens.

RC Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov has been heavily linked with Leeds United. Khusanov has instructed agent Jorge Mendes to start drumming up interest.

Leeds has made a bid close to 20 million euros to acquire Abdukodir Khusanov from RC Lens, although this offer is anticipated to be insufficient since Lens is seeking at least 30 million euros. The 20-year-old central defender has caught attention with his performance during the first half of the season, having made 13 appearances in Ligue 1. This has led to significant interest, particularly from England. Despite Leeds' attempts, it is noted that Khusanov is also being observed by major clubs such as Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain. These prospects could affect his decision, as there is speculation that he might have aspirations beyond joining a Championship side.
