Dean Huijsen is making headlines for his exceptional performances at Bournemouth, establishing himself as one of the most sought-after defenders in the world. The Spanish international’s standout displays have garnered interest from top clubs across Europe, with Arsenal among the clubs leading the charge to secure his services.
Arsenal’s Interest and the Release Clause
Huijsen’s impressive form has placed him firmly on the radar of several major clubs, and Arsenal is reportedly one of the frontrunners in the race for his signature. The Gunners are keen to strengthen their defence, and Huijsen fits the profile of a player they would like to add to their squad. However, Bournemouth is not likely to make it easy for potential suitors, as they have inserted a release clause into his contract, ensuring that only clubs willing to meet this predetermined fee will be able to sign the defender.
Although Arsenal remains one of the most prominent clubs interested in Huijsen, the competition is expected to increase, especially as he is still focused on finishing the season strongly with his current team. A decision regarding his future is likely to be made after the season concludes, with the defender concentrating on his on-field performances for the time being.
Competition from Tottenham Hotspur
The race for Huijsen’s signature has grown even more intense with Tottenham joining the competition. According to Football Insider, Tottenham’s interest in the Spanish defender has intensified, and they are now looking to beat Arsenal to the punch. With the possibility of qualifying for the Champions League through the Europa League, Tottenham can present an attractive proposition to Huijsen, offering the defender the chance to compete at the highest level in European football.
Given Tottenham’s confidence in their future, they could very well appeal to Huijsen, especially as both North London clubs continue to battle for his signature. Despite the fierce competition, Huijsen is unlikely to make a decision on his future until after the season ends. His desire for playing time and assurances about his role within any new club will play a significant part in his decision-making process.

Maybe we should be looking at beating Madrid to Alonso .
Same age as Arteta but as actually won stuff as a player and a manager (in 2 years )
Winning mentality goes along way .
Arteta is a busted flush after 5-6 years ,cannot get a team over the line .
Wont happen but we all know we will be having this same conversation in 12 months time .
Dan I think it is something worth considering. For the often asked question “who else is there,” well Alonso is 1 example. It’s not that I am against Arteta, but just considering reasons for him to stay at this point; is the juice worth the squeeze so to say.
I don’t think the club is willing to give up on Arteta, and unfortunately by the time they do, Alonso and other candidates will be settled at their respective clubs and any moves will be off the table.
That question that some Arteta fans love to ask Durand !
Plenty of managers ,my personal favourite would be Eddie Howe (had some fans taking the piss out of them winning the LC)
There is Klopp still out of work ,and now Alonso is free .
Plenty of coaches ,managers that could have done the same if not a better job than Arteta over the last 5 years .
It’s telling that we are told that he’s one of the best managers inworld football yet our own fans (alot of them )question this so called myth .
Problem is we all know he’s here for At least another 12 months so some of us have to just suck it up .
DK, apparently Alonso has get out clause in his contract that only allows him to leave for the jobs at Liverpool, Bayern Müchen and Real Madrid.
HD he’s obviously going to Madrid ,their manager is going and they have announced today that alonso is going to, would imagine an announcement after the league game Sunday against Barca .
DK, thanks for letting me know. Haven’t seen any sports news today, as I’ve been out with the eldest Grandson this afternoon.
As Romero of Spurs is thought to be on his way to Real Madrid, Huijsen could well be an ideal replacement .
All you guys calling for Alonso to replace Arteta because he has “won things” need to be reminded that winning things in the Bundesliga is miles away from doing it in the EPL
Kompany was relegated with Burnley here but he went over there and is a champion
Be careful what you wish for.
A bit harsh made
Was it BL first ever title ?
CM, that’s one of the reasons I’m a bit wary of us signing Sesko. Away at Leverkusen early in the season he had 3 clear chances of scoring, but fluffed all 3. One was, what should’ve been for a player of his height, an easy header. The other 2 were where he was clear, one on one with the keeper, and his chipped efforts were parried wide of the goal.
Yes be very careful. Slot only won the Eredivisie once and we all know the Eredivisie is inferior to the Bundesliga. Wenger was sacked by Monaco then went to Japan and didn’t even win the J League, a league that couldn’t even hold a candle to budget European leagues like the Eredivisie.
The “who else is there” rhetoric is a funny one. You would be definitely be mocked if named the next Slot or Wenger because they are minnows at the moment, so how on earth can any sane person expect them to take a big club like Pool or Arsenal to glory.
People asking “who else is there” can only be satisfied with reputable names with a proven track record like Pep or Klopp, certainly not the likes of Slot and Wenger before they made a name for themselves. Hence I have always considered the “who else is there” to be a rhetorical question by Arteta apologists
You come at it from an interesting angle but then spoil it by your last sentence. Why do you regard it as a rhetorical question and what is there to gain by calling people Arteta apologists?
It is a perfectly reasonable question. Who is out there? Who is available? Do they want to manage in the Premier League?
Since AW left, we had a winner both in France and Spain which went wrong. The club then took a punt with an ex Arsenal player who worked under Guardiola, so isn’t it reasonable to ask the question if Arteta gets the chop?
One thing is for certain, the supporters who want Arteta out will have to consider the possibility that the next guy ‘might’ not be any better than what we have. That’s fine by me. The club decide Arteta’s future and will decide who replaces him. Hopefully when that happens they hit the nail on the head but it’s not an exact science
Great last sentence ,Sushi.
And bang on the money .
Slot had no “prestigious” top 5 trophy when he came to Liverpool. Would say he’s done pretty well for himself so far.
Gabriel has been strongly linked with Saudi in the past and the Saliba links to Real Madrid won’t go away. I believe the two will still be here next season but getting Huijsen would be great because he would be a perfect replacement if either of these players leaves in the next two or three years. It helps that he’s both footed and can play right and left centre back. His long balls are reminiscent of VVD’s.
An article about Dean Huijsen somehow becomes about Arteta. I’m sure if an article were to be written about the newly elected pope or the prime minister of UK ,there are individuals who will make it about the manager without saying anything about the actual subject of the article.It’s an absurdity bordering on obsession. That’s like allowing someone to live rent free in your head.
