Arsenal is one of five English clubs that want to sign Premier League defender

Arsenal are reportedly keen to secure the signing of Dean Huijsen, but it is difficult to imagine any Premier League club turning down the opportunity to acquire one of the most promising young defenders in the country.

Huijsen has enjoyed an outstanding run of form at Bournemouth since arriving from Juventus at the beginning of the season. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and the level of interest in the Spanish defender continues to grow.

Recognising the inevitability of his departure, Bournemouth have reportedly accepted that it will not be able to retain him beyond this campaign. As such, they are now prepared to sanction his sale, and are hoping that a club will promptly activate his release clause, which is believed to be set at £50 million.

Arsenal are eager to bring Huijsen into their ranks, particularly with indications that Jakub Kiwior may finally be allowed to depart the Emirates Stadium. Seen as a long-term investment, Huijsen has already shown that he is more than capable of thriving in the Premier League and is widely regarded as a star in the making.

According to Sky Sports, there is considerable interest in the defender from some of Europe’s top clubs. Within the Premier League, Arsenal face stiff competition for his signature, with Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur all reportedly pursuing the player. Each of these clubs views Huijsen as an exceptional talent who could significantly bolster their defensive options, and all are expected to make a concerted effort to secure his services.

Given his level of performance this season, it is widely accepted that Huijsen is deserving of a move to a more prominent club than Bournemouth. His composure, maturity, and ability on the ball have marked him out as one of the most exciting young defenders currently playing in England, and the battle for his signature is likely to intensify as the summer transfer window approaches.
