Bournemouth want Dean Huijsen deal done quickly so money can be reinvested

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can confirm that Bournemouth want the Huijsen deal done quickly so they can invest the money.

However, there is no pressure on the player – he won’t be rushed into anything, sources have confirmed to TBR Football.

During their talks about Milos Kerkez, Liverpool asked about Huijsen – they knew of him last year – as did most of the Premier League, but Bournemouth took the chance.

Liverpool are quickly moving Huijsen to the top of their wanted list, along with Ajax’s Jorrel Hato, like we have reported previously.

Indeed, with Jarell Quansah potentially going, the Reds could be in the market for two new defenders.

Arsenal, like with Hato, are very much in for Huijsen – indeed, his people are talking to most of the Premier League, keeping them informed.

In addition, sources have confirmed to TBR Football that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have held talks about Huijsen – they like him just as much as the Premier League clubs.

Madrid are considering about whether to bring in a centre-half this summer, but they certainly can’t be ruled out at this stage. The same is true of Bayern.

What Dean Huijsen could bring to the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal

At just 19 years of age, Huijsen has already made 30 appearances for Bournemouth and has looked a cut above for most of the season so far.

Huijsen is a modern-day centre-back who excels in both defending and moving the ball up the pitch. He shines in aerial duels, interceptions, and is a forward-thinking passer.

Kepa Arrizabalaga was recently asked which Bournemouth talent he felt had the brightest future out of Alex Scott, Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi and Huijsen.

Kepa picked Huijsen above all the rest, singing the £50million man’s praises and saying he’s shining at “the highest level”.

The Spanish goalkeeper said: “I will choose Dean, maybe because he’s like the youngest one. He’s doing really well.

“At the beginning of the season he had not the minutes to be on the pitch but then he stepped into the team and he’s doing really well.

“He is just 19 and he’s playing Premier League at the highest level. I think all of them have a big future but I will pick (Huijsen).”

Meanwhile, Football Talent Scout’s Jacek Kulig has described Huijsen as the “complete package”.
