Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are just three of the Premier League clubs currently in pursuit of Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen.
The Gunners, the Reds and the Blues all have scope to strengthen their ranks this summer in pursuit of more successful campaigns next time round.
Arsenal will be eager to strengthen after finishing trophy-less, while Liverpool will want to compete on multiple fronts and Chelsea will want to kick on further.
All three are keen on Dean Huijsen and Fabrizio Romano has now shared an exciting update which will be music to the Premier League trio’s ears.

Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are pushing to complete Dean Huijsen deal by end of May
Romano, speaking on his YouTube channel, has shared that Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are leading the race for Huijsen ahead of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all want the deal done quickly, with Romano claiming Huijsen’s future could be resolved by the end of the month.
“The idea of the three main Premier League clubs involved in this story, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, is to do the deal now as soon as possible,” said Romano.
“Now it means by the end of May, so to close the deal this month!”
Romano also spoke about how Huijsen’s Premier League suitors have a considerable advantage over Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
“Neither Bayern nor Real are ready to move for Huijsen right now,” he continued.
“With the Bundesliga side needing to sell players and the La Liga giants needing to tie up other loose ends.
“Bayern like Huijsen but they need to sell a defender in order to make it happen… they need to generate money,” said Romano.
“Real Madrid, at the moment are busy. Carlo Ancelotti’s exit, Xabi Alonso coming in as the new coach.
“Real Madrid are working on this process before entering into players coming now.”
What are Bournemouth planning to do with Dean Huijsen?
It’s not just Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea who want to get a deal done quickly.
TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey previously confirmed that Bournemouth want the Huijsen deal done quickly so they can reinvest the money elsewhere.
However, there is no pressure on the player himself – the £50million man won’t be rushed into anything, sources have confirmed to us.
There is a lot of interest in Huijsen – who has been deemed a “complete package” by Jacek Kulig – which goes a long way to explaining why clubs are in a rush.
TBR Football previously confirmed that Huijsen’s camp have already spoken to several other Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle.
