Vesper

non sequitur Rice (Kingston upon Thames) and Grealish (Birmingham) were both born in England, whereas Huijsen was born in The Netherlands and also is of Dutch descent. I read the 'Dutch' part of the headline as referring to his birth background and his descent.

He has dual citizenship, but is of full Dutch descent. Huijsen was born in Amsterdam. His family relocated to Marbella, Andalusia, Spain when he was five years old and he became a Spanish citizen in February 2024. He can speak Dutch, Spanish, Italian and English. He has played for both Dutch and Spanish national football sides. Full name Dean Donny Huijsen Wijsmuller Date of birth 14 April 2005 (age 20) Place of birth Amsterdam, Netherlands Height 1.97 m Position(s) Centre-back International career 2021–2022 Netherlands U17 11 (2) 2022–2023 Netherlands U18 4 (0) 2023–2024 Netherlands U19 3 (0) 2024 Spain U21 7 (1) 2025– Spain 2 (0)

Chelsea make new agent contact for Dutch international centre back Dean Huijsen https://siphillipstalkschelsea.substack.com/p/sources-Chelsea-make-new-agent-contact The Chelsea centre back situation is heating up right now and The Blues are putting the work in on a number of targets. We exclusively reported a couple of months back that Chelsea were now interested in this Dutch centre back, and fresh contacts have now been made. Trevoh Chalobah is still likely to be sold by Chelsea this summer, and there are of course concerns over the long term fitness of Wesley Fofana. Renato Veiga is another player who will be available this summer at the right price, so Chelsea’s decision makers will definitely be looking to bring in at least one new centre back, and potentially even two if Veiga does go. Chelsea have been speaking to the people of Dean Huijsen of Bournemouth for a few weeks now and continue to push. He is now likely to stay in the Premier League but it is Liverpool at the moment that look like the most likely destination. I’ve spoken to Liverpool sources, and they are adamant that the club are in pole position to land Huijsen this summer. However, after speaking with SPTC sources, we are ensured that no decision has been made by the player yet and communications are ongoing. The new info from sources is that Chelsea are also turning attentions to a player who they feel could replace Veiga as well as fill a centre back slot due to his versatility. snip
