📖 Dean Huijsen: Biography & Story
Real Madrid's rapid rise: a teenage defender who chose Spain over the Netherlands.
Dean Huijsen's rapid rise took him from Juventus's academy to a loan at Roda JC, then to AS Roma, before a breakout season at Bournemouth in the Premier League announced him as one of the most exciting young defenders in Europe, combining composure on the ball with genuine physical presence for his age.
That form led to a big move to Real Madrid, where he has continued his development as one of the most promising young centre-backs in world football, given the responsibility of playing for one of the game's biggest clubs while still a teenager.
His decision to represent Spain rather than the Netherlands added him to a talented pool of young Spanish defenders, and he is considered one of the position's brightest long-term international prospects.
