Chelsea are said to be interested in Dean Huitsen and could be set to make an inquiry about the Bournemouth defender in the January transfer window.
The talented 19-year-old has shone since joining Bournemouth from Juventus in the summer, having also caught the eye in Serie A during a loan spell at Roma.
According to Simon PhillipsChelsea have Huijsen on their list and could ask for him at least in January, and this is not the first time he has been linked with a big move.

The youngster, who has represented both the Netherlands and Spain at youth international level, looks like he has a big future in the game and fits the type of profile Chelsea seek to sign.

Dean Huissen transfer: Will Chelsea face competition for Bournemouth defender?
Huizen has been significantly linked with Liverpool and by Aston Villa Football Insider In the summer, so it may be that Chelsea won’t find it so easy to win the race for his signature.
Chelsea would do well to bring in Huijsen as an upgrade to the incredible duo of Axel Desassi and Benoit Badiashil, while Wesley Fofana has been plagued by frequent injury problems that have somewhat slowed his progress in west London.
However, it will be interesting to see what happens with Virgil van Dijk’s contract at Liverpool, as Huizen would likely be an ideal long-term replacement for the Dutchman should he leave Anfield.
Chelsea could be an attractive destination, however, with players such as Huizen aware that they will get plenty of playing time in Enzo Maresca’s side due to his belief in and commitment to developing young players.
