In-demand Premier League star speaks on reports he could join Chelsea

Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen is keeping tight-lipped over his future amid links to the likes of CHELSEA ahead of the summer transfer window.

Huijsen, 19, has quickly established himself as a regular at the heart of Andoni Iraola’s defence following a £13million move from Juventus to the Vitality Stadium in the summer transfer window.

The imposing 6 ft 5 in centre-half has caught the eye with a string of assured defensive displays while providing a strong aerial presence at the other end of the pitch, and According to Spanish publication AS, Huijsen’s performances have not gone unnoticed amongst Europe’s elite, with Madrid keeping close tabs on the Spain Under-21 international this season.

The report adds that CHELSEA are providing competition for Huijsen and have started to ‘position themselves with enquiries about his contract situation’, but the young defender is keeping very quiet about a potential move at the end of the season, Speaking to AS after the Cherries win over Arsenal, he said: “The future? I’m having a good time and not thinking about it…

“I don’t know… I’m a ‘chill’ guy, like I do when I celebrate [laughs]. I don’t think about it much.

“Every day I go to training, to play in the games, and I’m happy. I’m having a good time and I’m not thinking about that. You are the ones to judge that; I’m not thinking about that, I’m focused on Bournemouth.

“We’re having a very good season. We’ve already broken the points record and we want to get as many points as possible this season.”
