Real Madrid Identify This Bournemouth Talent As Priority Target: One For The Future? | OneFootball

Huijsen is having a decent campaign so far where he has featured across 27 games and has two goals to his name. He is averaging 1.2 tackles, 1.8 interceptions, and 5.4 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The Dutch defender is an aggressive minded ball-playing defender. He is comfortable with both feets, allowing him to feature on either side as a centre-back. He is physically strong, technically sounded, duels winner and intercepts the threats really well.

Dean Huijsen is a great choice

Real Madrid have faced problems in their defensive unit this season due to multiple injuries. There is raising doubt over the fitness of David Alaba while Antonio Rudiger’s workload needs to be managed well. Though Eder Militao will regain full fitness ahead of the next season, the club needs more strength on their bench.

Hence, the Whites have been actively searching for a centre-back in the market. They are linked with the likes of Jorrel Hato, Ibrahima Konate, Castello Lukeba, and William Saliba. However, Dean Huijsen seems the most realistic option as it will be easier to sign him.
