Bournemouth sign teenage Juventus defender Huijsen

Bournemouth have signed teenage Juventus defender Dean Huijsen on a six-year deal for an initial £12.8m.

The deal for the 19-year-old could rise to £15.3m with add-ons, which is payable over five years.

He becomes the club's fourth summer signing after the arrival of Alex Paulsen, Daniel Jebbison and a permanent deal for Enes Unal, who initially joined on loan from Getafe in January.

Huijsen was born in the Netherlands and played internationally for their age groups until under-19s level.

He moved to Spain when he was five years old and gained Spanish citizenship this year, making his under-21s debut in March.
