According to a recent report from TBR Football, the agent of highly promising AFC Bournemouth defender, Dean Huijsen, has spoken to Tottenham Hotspur - as well as Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United - with Spanish giants Real Madrid also said to have an interest in the player.
It has been reported that the defender has a release clause of £55m, so should that be activated - the South Coast club will have no room to negotiate, and it will be down to the player to decide his own future.
There is, admittedly, the possibility that he signs a new contract before the summer. The chances of that deal not including a release clause are highly improbable, but it could well be with a higher fee - though how much more the player is willing to let it increase to - is another question altogether.
Whether £55m or more, Andoni Iraola's side will be making a huge profit on Huijsen either way, having signed him for just £12 million from Juventus last summer - having played just 525 Serie A minutes on loan at AS Roma in the second half of last season.
Needless to say, the teenager has seriously impressed with his performances this season, with Bournemouth consistently exceeding expectations, sitting in sixth place at the moment. Back in December, he scored the only goal of the game, as the Cherries defeated Spurs 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium.
Aside from his goal, it was a dominant all round performance, with the defender recording; ten clearances, one blocked shot, one interception, four tackles, and all five of his duels won, to help his team to a clean sheet.
In terms of profile, Hujisen is a very complete player. Despite standing at around 6'5 tall, he is a very quick player, who can cover a lot of ground. He is also very good on the ball, and ranks as one of the best carriers in the Premier League. He would be an absolutely great fit for Spurs.
This would be an absolutely brilliant signing, were anything to happen, particularly if it was for £55 million pounds. It is not one where you have to worry whether or not Ange will be in charge either. As touched on above, he is a very complete player, making him system proof and capable of performing whoever the manager is.
