Milos Kerkez reacts to Dean Huijsen’s message amid Chelsea transfer update

Dean Huijsen had a mysterious message on social media amid constant speculation around his Bournemouth future.

Huijsen has been one of the standout young defenders in the Premier League this season, emerging as a key figure in Andoni Iraola’s side since joining last summer.

His assured performances at the back have helped Bournemouth secure their best-ever Premier League points tally.

Huijsen’s form hasn’t gone unnoticed either. The teenager is attracting serious interest from a host of top clubs including Real Madrid, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle.

Despite the growing list of admirers, Chelsea are reportedly leading the race for Huijsen and are hopeful of sealing a deal before the Club World Cup.

With speculation surrounding his next move intensifying, Huijsen shared a cryptic post with supporters online amid the update.

The centre-back posted a focused message to supporters, writing: “Be better than yesterday. Eyes on the next one.”

His post drew plenty of support, with Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke, Milos Kerkez and Justin Kluivert among those showing their appreciation.

The message came days after Bournemouth’s goalless draw with Crystal Palace, as they now turn their attention to a key clash against Manchester United on 27 April, which is vital in their bid to push for European qualification.

Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed on 7 April that Chelsea remain firmly in the race to sign Huijsen despite stiff competition from elsewhere in the Premier League.

According to the new update, the Blues may already be leading the chase to secure the 20-year-old, which would be a brilliant acquisition in Enzo Maresca’s young team.

He’s forged a strong partnership at the back for Bournemouth, making 31 appearances in a breakout campaign that sees the Cherries sitting eighth in the Premier League.

Bournemouth to open talks with Andoni Iraola amid Tottenham links

Bournemouth’s impressive form has not only boosted their European hopes but also attracted attention to manager Iraola.

Football Insider revealed that Iraola is a serious contender to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham if a managerial change is made this summer.

Despite the speculation, Bournemouth are preparing to hold talks with Iraola in hopes of keeping him at the club. With several key players also linked with summer exits, the club faces the possibility of a major shake-up, including the future of their head coach.
