ASRomaLive.it have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have now reached out to Juventus over a summer deal for centre-back Dean Huijsen, who is currently on loan at Roma.
Huijsen made a loan move to Rome just last month and the 18-year-old is already winning plenty of admirers with his disciplined displays, showing maturity beyond his years.
It was first reported by Tuttojuve a couple of weeks ago that the Lilywhites were keeping an eye on the teenager’s performances ahead of the summer.
This has now been backed up by ASRomaLive, who say that the defender ‘bewitches’ several European clubs, including Ange Postecoglou’s men.
Spurs face competition for Dean Huijsen
The outlet goes on to explain that Tottenham are not alone in their admiration of Huijsen, with Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund also said to be keen on the youngster.
In fact, it is alleged that all three clubs have already approached Juve over recent weeks over a deal for the teenager while Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are also watching him.
The report says that the Giallorossi would like to extend the player’s stay at the Stadio Olimpico but the fact that they are currently without a sporting director makes it quite difficult for them to do so.
Finally, the publication adds that the Bianconeri value the Netherlands Under-19 international at around €25m-€30m (£21.3m-£25.6m).
Spurs Web Opinion
I fully believe that Tottenham are likely to go for a young, up-and-coming centre-back as their fourth choice, now that Postecoglou has three top centre-halves at his disposal.
However, the signing of Huijsen would block the progress of Ashley Phillips and Alfie Dorrington, who are both rated highly at Hotspur Way.
