Abduqodir Hikmatovich Husanov has become one of the most impressive defenders in Ligue 1 this season. The Uzbek player (Tashkent, 29 February 2004) has attracted the attention of big clubs in the European scene due to his great performance and consistency in the French top flight.
Abdukodir Khusanov (english translation), the globally adopted name by which he is known on the football circuit, began his career in the youth ranks of his hometown club FK Bunyodkor Tashkent, before signing for FC Energetik-BGU Minsk in the Belarusian Premier League in 2022.
The defender, despite his youth, quickly became an important player for the Belarusian club. At the end of the season, after an outstanding performance, he achieved the runner-up position with the team and was included in the best XI of the season.
On 24 July 2023, he signed for Racing Club Lens in Ligue 1, and his level since his arrival at the French club has not stopped growing. So much so that his qualities have not gone unnoticed by the big european clubs, causing his name to be one of the most heard in the transfer market window.
The young centre-back, international player with the Uzbek national team since his first call up in 2023, stands out as a very physical player. He has a large wingspan, is strong, fast and aggressive. He is a real duel winner (aerial and ground), and very effective in tackles and also in open space situations. However, his extremely robust physique may be detrimental in quick actions that require agility, as he sometimes gives the impression of being too rigid in actions such as turning or direction changes.
Technically, he is also a good player. Although it is not his main quality, he has a good passing range, especially with his long-distance deliveries.
Tactically, on the other hand, he is also an interesting defender. He is a real leader in commanding the box, he usually keeps a good positioning and is especially intuitive and aggressive in anticipation when he leaves his area.
Finally, the mental side is another aspect that gives confidence in his potential. At just 20 years of age, he is an absolute defensive leader. He enjoys the work, the sacrifice, is not afraid of responsibility and has a great determination.
