Huijsen – who is currently on loan at Roma from Juventus until the end of the season – recently obtained his Spanish citizenship and decided to represent Spain instead of Holland on a national level.

The defender had represented Holland throughout his first steps as a youth team player, but wants to dedicate himself to the country that welcomed him when he was 5 years old and where he lived ever since, until his journey in Italy with Juventus and Roma began.

His first call-up is expected to take place in the coming weeks.
