According to a recent source, Chelsea has been pushed to recruit Dean Huijsen, a highly regarded defender from Bournemouth. To strengthen their defensive options, the Premier League’s biggest clubs are eager to capture the 19-year-old during the summer transfer window. Two other Premier League teams are vying for the Cherries star’s services, so Enzo Maresca’s team will have competition in their pursuit. Benoit Badiashile’s and Wesley Fofana’s injuries forced Chelsea to recall Trevoh Chalobah from a season-long loan at Crystal Palace, and Axel Disasi was judged surplus to requirements.
The team is considering additional defensive possibilities because Disasi has been loaned to Aston Villa for the rest of the season. Only two clean sheets have been kept by the Blues in their last ten games, one in a 5-0 FA Cup victory over Morecambe and the other in a draw with Everton.
Dean Huijsen has impressed at club as Chelsea’s ready move
According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea has already contacted Huijsen’s agents to discuss the potential of a summer transfer. The Dutch defender has a £50 million release clause in his current deal that will go into effect in the summer. The goal of Bournemouth’s contract extension is to raise that amount, although a transfer is very likely given Huijsen’s rising stature. Nico aspires to put himself through the most rigorous testing. When he makes decisions, the Champions League plays a big role, according to TEAMtalk.
Huijsen’s next destination will be intriguing, and it could be wise for him to pick his next team wisely rather than merely picking the largest brand. With Lisandro Martinez having a history of injuries at Old Trafford and Huijsen being a logical upgrade over erratic players like Matthijs de Ligt, the Red Devils will undoubtedly want to make changes for new manager Ruben Amorim.
There would undoubtedly be a significant role for Huijsen, who would probably be an improvement over players like Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, and the injury-prone Wesley Fofana. Chelsea, on the other hand, has a project centered around trusting and developing the best young players in the world.
