Liverpool will reportedly accelerate the move to sign 19-year-old Spanish youth international Dean Huijsen from fellow Premier League club Bournemouth this summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Dean Huijsen is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for a centre-back heading into the summer transfer window and are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the Bournemouth defensive sensation. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on landing the Spanish youth international.
Dean Huijsen has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League since joining Bournemouth from Juventus last summer. A native of Amsterdam, the teenage sensation has represented the Netherlands and Spain in age-group international football, with the latter likely his future national side.
Meanwhile, the 19-year-old has come leaps and bounds at AFC Bournemouth, amassing nearly 2,000 minutes of game time across 26 appearances in all competitions while chipping in with two goals. Meanwhile, Huijsen’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Chelsea will likely dip into the market for a centre-back in the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Trevoh Chalobah, Axel Disasi, and Benoit Badiashile. In addition, Wesley Fofana has struggled with fitness issues throughout his spell with the West London club. So, the Spanish youth international has emerged as a viable target for Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Dean Huijsen is understandable.
