According to reports, Chelsea and Newcastle United may be among the teams to keep an eye on in the summer transfer race for Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen.

On his YouTube channel, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano claims as much, adding Newcastle to the list of teams interested in the “fantastic” teenage center-back.
Romano has already covered Chelsea’s interest in signing Huijsen.
In his most recent video, he also mentions Bayern Munich as a squad to keep an eye on.
Huijsen has made a lot of impressions while playing in the Premier League.
Bournemouth is finding it more and more difficult to keep large clubs from snatching up the 19-year-old.
Huijsen may not be in a rush to transfer just now because he is still young.
But it is also not surprising that teams like Newcastle and Chelsea would be interested in him, reports Caught Offside.
While manager Enzo Maresca is probably going to keep developing young players, Huijsen might be enticed by a project like Chelsea, which could enable him to play in the Champions League and contend for trophies.
However, Huijsen would also be wise to invest in that project for the next few years of his career, as Newcastle is another ambitious team moving in the correct path.
