Chelsea Eye Rising Defensive Star as United Progress in Europe
Chelsea are reportedly eyeing one of the most in-demand centre-backs on the market as the summer transfer window looms. The 20-year-old sensation, Dean Huijsen, has captured attention across Europe not only for his defensive solidity but also for his impressive goal-scoring ability—an unusual trait for a centre-back. His stunning debut for the Spain national team, where he found the back of the net, only added to the growing hype surrounding him.
Currently on loan at Roma from Juventus, Huijsen has displayed maturity, skill, and versatility beyond his years. Chelsea, eager to reinforce their backline and build for the future, are said to be seriously monitoring his situation. The Blues are expected to face stiff competition from other European giants, but their proactive scouting and strong interest might give them an edge.
Meanwhile, in the Europa League, Manchester United’s qualification for the semi-finals has stirred reactions. Athletic Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde commended United’s achievement, suggesting their stature makes them rightful contenders for top European honours. As the Red Devils push forward in their campaign, Chelsea’s focus remains firmly on securing key targets to elevate their squad next season.
