Dean Huijsen shares Bournemouth promise after Liverpool transfer reveal
Dean Huijsen expressed his disappointment in a recent message following Bournemouth’s 2-1 defeat to Brighton, as speculation around his future continues.
Bournemouth faced a tough outing at the Amex Stadium, with goals from Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck securing the win for Brighton. Despite a strong individual performance from Huijsen, who played the full 90 minutes, he couldn’t help his team avoid the loss.
This season, the Spaniard’s impressive displays have caught the attention of several top clubs, with Football Insider revealing that Liverpool are eyeing a move for Huijsen amid uncertainties surrounding Virgil van Dijk’s future at Anfield.
However, the transfer speculation hasn’t affected Huijsen’s commitment to Bournemouth, as he took the opportunity to address fans after the match, reaffirming his dedication to the club despite the disappointing result.

Dean Huijsen catches the attention of Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man United
Following the defeat, the defender delivered a heartfelt message to the supporters on Instagram, stating, “It’s not what we want, it’s not what we work for. We’ll get back up soon.”
His words resonated with fans, and teammate Daniel Jebbison expressed his support with applause emojis, while goalscorer Kluivert showed his appreciation by liking the post.
Huijsen has been a key player for Bournemouth this season, establishing a solid partnership in defence with Milos Kerkez and Illia Zabarnyi.
His impressive performances have drawn interest from several top clubs, with Chelsea fans particularly urging their team to sign Huijsen, especially considering his £50 million release clause.
Additionally, Man United supporters have urged their club to pursue Huijsen, as reports suggest they are monitoring his progress.
Dean Huijsen crucial in Bournemouth’s push for European football
Since his summer move from Juventus, the 19-year-old has quickly become a vital part of Andoni Iraola’s defence. Huijsen has made 24 appearances for the Cherries, starting 16 times in the Premier League and scoring twice during that time.
He has played every minute of league action since scoring in the 1-0 victory over Tottenham on 5 December, highlighting his significance to the team.
Following the recent loss, Bournemouth currently sit in seventh place in the league table, just three points shy of a Champions League spot. With Huijsen continuing to perform, there is optimism that the team can bounce back in their upcoming FA Cup match against Wolves on 1 March.
