Husanov leads the English Premier League in tackles
A new ranking has been announced regarding the most effective defensive actions, specifically tackle statistics, among central defenders playing in the English Premier League. Zamin.uz reported on this.
In this list, young Uzbek footballer Abdukodir Khusanov has taken the lead, capturing the attention of all fans and experts. The 22-year-old defender playing for Manchester City averages more than one tackle per game, achieving the leading result in the league for dispossessing opponents.
This statistic has made him the best among all central defenders in the English Premier League. Scottish defender Kristoffer Ajer holds second place in the ranking, while Italian footballer Cristian Romero occupies third.
Additionally, world-renowned strong defenders such as Trevoh Chalobah, Marcos Senesi, and Micky van de Ven are also featured in the list with their results. Abdukodir Khusanov's achievement of such a high statistic further proves his reliable performance in defense and how important a figure he has become for the team.
He does not limit himself to just winning the ball back but also demonstrates a high level in reading the game deeply, choosing the correct position, and making quick decisions during play. Currently, the footballer continues to seriously prepare with the Uzbekistan national team for the FIFA Series 2026 tournament.
If his current football form and playing level are maintained, it is expected that in the near future he will become one of the leading and key figures not only at the club level but also in the national team. This achievement further raises hopes for representatives of the new generation of Uzbek football, showing their ability to showcase themselves on international fields.
