Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen has admitted it is an honour to be approached by Real Madrid after enjoying a season in the Premier League.

Speaking to Spanish newspaper Revelo, the 19-year-old refused to rule out a move to the current Champions League holders.


Huijsen said: "It's an honour when you hear about Real Madrid's interest, I'm proud to have such a big club interested in me."

Real Madrid will face competition from both Chelsea and Bayern Munich for the signing of the prodigious talent.

Bournemouth reportedly agreed a €65m release clause, which will become active at the end of the season, when they signed Huijsen from Juventus last summer.

The young centre-back is in line to make his Spain debut after being called up to the first team by Luis de la Fuente for their Nations League quarter-final clash with the Netherlands. /Telegrafi/
