Dean Huijsen responds to Illia Zabarnyi’s emotional message amid transfer whisper
Dean Huijsen joined his former Bournemouth teammates in reacting to Illia Zabarnyi’s heartfelt post amid speculation about a potential exit.
Bournemouth enjoyed a record-breaking campaign last season, securing their highest-ever Premier League points total and finishing ninth in the table.
But success on the pitch has already come at a cost, as several of the club’s standout performers are now attracting serious interest from across Europe.
Huijsen has confirmed his departure to Real Madrid, completing a move after the Spanish giants activated his release clause.
Meanwhile, Football Insider has reported that Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Milos Kerkez, following his standout season at left-back.
Now, another pillar of Bournemouth’s defence could follow him out. Zabarnyi is being closely monitored by Champions League winners PSG, who have identified him as a potential summer target.
Amid the growing transfer speculation, Zabarnyi shared a message with supporters after spending the week on international duty
Illia Zabarnyi reacts after Ukraine secure win over New Zealand
Players have been on international duty over the past week, with Ukraine taking part in a series of friendlies.
Zabarnyi started in their latest outing as Ukraine defeated New Zealand, with Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko getting on the scoresheet in the win.
Following the result, he shared a heartfelt message with supporters, saying: “Every match in this shirt is a pride.
“This is the moment when the anthem plays and you stand with the coat of arms on your chest, knowing: you are part of history. You are among those who do not just play, but represent.”
The post received warm reactions from several players, including Huijsen, Justin Kluivert, and Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke.
Zabarnyi’s future at Bournemouth remains uncertain, particularly following Huijsen’s confirmed move to Real Madrid, which has brought their promising centre-back partnership to an end.
Despite growing interest, Bournemouth are expected to demand a high fee if they are to sanction a move for Zabarnyi with the club are reluctant to lose yet another key player following a record-breaking campaign.
Tottenham prepare move for Semenyo as Bournemouth exodus continues
While much of the transfer talk has focused on the Cherries’ defence, attention has now turned to the other end of the pitch.
Football Insider revealed that Tottenham are ready to accelerate their interest in Antoine Semenyo in the coming weeks, with the forward impressing under Andoni Iraola last season.
Manchester United had previously shown interest in Semenyo, but with the club now closing in on a deal for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Spurs may have a clear path to secure his signature.
Whether Bournemouth will entertain offers remains to be seen, but with several first-team stars linked with moves away, a significant summer rebuild may be on the horizon at the Vitality Stadium.
