Liverpool and Chelsea in Race for Premier League Star
Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen is now one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe. Since joining the club from Juventus over the summer, the 20-year-old has played 24 games in the Premier League and has just been recalled by Spain to their senior team — news that hasn't escaped attention.
TEAMtalk's transfer expert Ben Jacobs says Liverpool and Chelsea are set to pursue Huijsen's signature during the summer window.

GiveMeSport reports that Liverpool have already had productive talks with Huijsen's agents. The talks are reported to be productive, and there is growing optimism at Anfield that the defender will choose Liverpool over Chelsea.

Without revealing what it says, reports say the message shows that the club maintains their interest but falls short of really making a rightful offer — an intelligent maneuver normal in the case of Madrid transfer policy.
The Spanish giants have been keeping a close eye on Huijsen for a while now, eyeing him as a future prospect, considering their backline will mature over the next couple of seasons.
