Bournemouth have signed 19-year-old defender Dean Huijsen from Juventus on a six-year deal worth an initial £12.8 million, potentially rising to £15.3 million with add-ons. Huijsen, who has dual Dutch and Spanish citizenship, made 13 appearances on loan for Roma last season and has also played for Juventus' U-19 and senior teams. He excels as a ball-playing center-back, fitting well into manager Andoni Iraola’s style of building play from the back. Bournemouth's Chief Executive Neill Blake praised Huijsen's potential and expressed excitement about his future with the club. This transfer marks Bournemouth's fourth summer signing, following the arrivals of Alex Paulsen, Daniel Jebbison, and Enes Unal.
