Jazz in the Lights Festival Returns to Johannesburg March 29

Manchester City's signing of young Uzbek player Abdukodir Khusanov for £33.6m has proven to be a successful gamble, as he quickly became a fan favorite despite a rocky start. Coach Pep Guardiola praised Khusanov's 'special quality' and passion, which have helped him overcome language barriers and build friendships with teammates. The 21-year-old's impressive skills were first noted by scout Cenk Cetin during the under-20 World Cup, where Khusanov was transferred to RC Lens for just £84,000 prior to joining City. The investment reflects City's ongoing strategy to nurture talent, with Khusanov's performances exceeding initial expectations. His journey from a challenging debut to becoming a key player exemplifies his resilience and potential in the squad. As the season progresses, City fans are increasingly hopeful about Khusanov's contributions to the team's success.
