Chelsea are keeping a close eye on the situation surrounding Manchester City defender Abdulkadir Khusanov as the January transfer window approaches.
The 22-year-old has been performing well with the Citizens, yet it remains uncertain whether he can secure a regular spot in the starting lineup. In light of this, Chelsea are considering him as a potential candidate to bolster their defence.
The Blues have faced significant defensive challenges this season, having conceded 12 goals in their first five Premier League matches under Xabi Alonso's management.
However, Chelsea are not the only team interested in Khusanov. Reports suggest that three other Premier League clubs are also monitoring the defender's situation.
At this stage, discussions regarding negotiations or an official offer from Manchester City have not been reported, with the focus remaining on interest and observation.
