In french and behind a paywall. not worth posting I'm afraid
Khusanov has significant room for improvement," according to Baptiste Favier, who discovered him at Lens

Baptiste Favier, former RC Lens scout, looks back on how he discovered defender Abdukodir Khusanov in 2023, who will be transferred, at the age of 20, for 50 million euros (bonuses included) to Manchester City.
When did you first see Abdukodir Khusanov?
I was covering the U20 World Cup in May 2023 in Argentina. I followed the matches on the L'Équipe channel, especially those of the host country. But during the match against Uzbekistan, it was above all one player who blew me away: Abdukodir Khusanov. A total discovery.
 
Is that where Borat was from?
I believe this will answer your question.

I’m choosing to translate “significant room for improvement “ as “he’s fucking mint but could get even minter”
 
I’d have him here for life, if I could. His experience and ability would be amazing for young centre backs (even just the two/three we’re rumoured to be signing this window!) and he’s said in the past he’d love to end his career here.

Whether that means he’s happy taking a back seat and offering advice (as I’m sure was the plan for Gundogan pre-injury meltdown) I’m not sure. But I’d hope it’d be offered to him and I’d be buzzing if it happened.

The best defender we have, when fit, and the best English defender in years. A Rolls Royce of a footballer but has the aggression and bollocks to dig deep too. Mint. Love the guy.
You’re @Eccles Blue and I claim my £5!
