Five Premier League Clubs Compete for Young Bournemouth Defender’s Signature

According to The Athletic, Dean Huijsen — AFC Bournemouth’s young defender — has attracted interest from five major Premier League clubs after Real Madrid withdrew their pursuit due to his £50 million release clause being deemed too expensive for a 19-year-old player.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are leading the race for the Spanish international — while Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have also shown serious interest. All five clubs have held talks with the player’s representatives in recent days.

Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund is reportedly open to discussing a move to Juventus. The Italian club is interested in bringing in the Danish player, who has only scored three Premier League goals this season, on a loan deal.

Inter Milan is trying to get ahead of other clubs by offering a €5 million per year contract to Lille striker Jonathan David.

The Canadian striker will be available on a free transfer in June, but Arsenal, Barcelona and Juventus are also monitoring the situation.

Ademola Lookman is certain to leave Atalanta at the end of this season with Juventus and Napoli leading the chase.

Atalanta has set a €60 million price tag for the player who has scored 18 goals and provided 7 assists this season.
