🚨 Emergency Broadcast: Dean Huijsen to Bournemouth

All the insights into the Cherries picking up a top prospect from Juventus.

Last February, I wrote a piece titled ‘How Juventus are building the world’s best talent pipeline’ — see below. Now, all the hatchlings are flying the nest.

The first Juventus Next Gen-ers to leave the club were sent to Aston Villa, as part of a PSR-FFP mega-deal plotted out between the clubs that shipped Enzo Barrenechea and Samuel Iling-Junior to Birmingham and Douglas Luiz to Turin.

Next came the news that Matías Soulé would be on his way to join Roma, with Juventus using those funds in their pursuit of Atalanta’s Teun Koopmeiners. And now, the prodigious Dean Huijsen appears to be on his way to Bournemouth, making way for Jean-Clair Todibo.

There are a few questions to address with this deal, so let’s itemise them before diving into the details:

1. Why are Juventus selling Huijsen?

2. Why are they selling him for such a cheap fee?

3. What kind of player is Huijsen?

4. How will he fit at Bournemouth and in the Premier League?

Read on for the asnwers to those questions, and all the added insights. There might be a little cameo appearance from a proper Friend of SCOUTED and a true Football Twitter legend.
