Chelsea have been handed a major boost in the pursuit of 19 year old defender. The player is already impressing in Premier League right now. He is looked upon by top European giants but the Blues have been handed lead in the race.
The star in question here is Dean Huijsen who is 19 years old Spanish defender who plays for Bournemouth. He joined the Cherries last summer and even since has been superb. He is now considered as one of the best young talents in world.
Huijsen plays as centre-back and has been regular starter for Bournemouth. He has played 30 games this season and has put on a solid defensive display. In addition, he has scored 2 goals and picked 1 assist to showcase his attacking traits.
Chelsea handed boost in pursuit of Dean Huijsen
The Blues hold strong interest to sign Dean Huijsen this summer. They are keen to add some top defenders to their squad. As of now, Huijsen and Marc Guehi are said to be their top priorities. But, the Spaniard also has interest outside the Premier League.
Huijsen is looked upon by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. Los Blancos are said to go in strong for a defender this summer. On the other hand, Bayern are keen to improve their backline and have identified Huijsen as an ideal fit. However, both of these clubs are now handed a blow in race.
According to talkSPORT, Huijsen prefers to stay in Premier League. Hence, the Blues will look at this as a major boost. They can trigger his £50 million release clause which will be activated in the summer window to land him.
The 19 year old will be looked upon as a long-term investment. If Chelsea do sign him, the defender can be offered long running contract just like other young stars. However, the Blues still have to face competition from other English clubs.
