Bournemouth teenager Dean Huijsen is expected to be the centre of a transfer tug-of-war this summer, amid links with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham after his release clause was revealed.

Such performances have reportedly attracted plenty of transfer interest ahead of the summer window, and now Fabrizio Romano reports that Huijsen would be available for £50m at the end of the season.

That is because of a release clause in his Bournemouth contract.

But there is no guarantee Huijsen will leave as the Cherries target qualification to Europe for the first time in their history.

Speaking last month, Huijsen suggested he wants to be part of a historic European campaign with Bournemouth in an apparent hint to where his priorities lie ahead of the summer.

"We’re doing well and I think we can qualify for Europe," he told The Guardian. "We have the quality and the potential.

"Who wouldn’t want to play in Europe? I think everyone would like that. It would go down in the history of the club. It would be great for all of the players, fans and everyone involved. I think it is realistic with how we are playing.

"We are doing well and all of the stats show that it’s not just luck and we deserve to be here. We just need to keep on working hard, stay humble and continue proving ourselves."
