Chelsea to rival Liverpool for Dean Huijsen

According to Mick Brown for Football Insider, Chelsea are looking to rival Liverpool for Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen.

The former Man United and Blackburn chief scout has claimed that the Stamford Bridge are determined to land the Spain starlet.

Enzo Maresca's side reportedly are looking for a new defender, while it has been claimed Liverpool have made him a top target.

Every aspect of the game you want from a centre-half, he has got.

"He’s tall, slim, good in the air, good with the ball at his feet, quick, agile, he’s got it all.

"He looks like a real top-class player, so it’s not surprise there are a number of clubs including Liverpool and Real Madrid having a look at him.

"Chelsea are the latest side to show and interest because they really need to strengthen at the back, and they’re prepared to battle other clubs for him.

"It might be difficult for them if Madrid or Liverpool are in for him, but he’s one they want.

"I think it’s almost certain he leaves Bournemouth this summer if you look at his contract.

"With a release clause in there, these clubs will have more incentive to pay it because £55million could be a bargain price in two or three years’ time.

"It would be a surprise to me if he didn’t go at this stage."

Liverpool are reportedly interested in Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen - who is said to have a £50m release clause.
