Chelsea in Talks to Sign Dean Huijsen, Maresca’s Direct Involvement
Chelsea Football Club is actively pursuing the signing of Juventus' promising young defender, Dean Huijsen. The 18-year-old Dutch talent has caught the attention of the Blues, who are reportedly in talks to secure his services. Huijsen, currently on loan at Roma, has been lauded for his performances, with some suggesting he could be a better option than Chelsea's existing defenders, Levi Colwill and Wesley Fofana.
Enzo Maresca, Chelsea's manager, has taken a hands-on approach in this transfer pursuit. Known for his good relations with agents, Maresca has been in direct contact with Huijsen's entourage, indicating the club's serious intent to bring the young star to Stamford Bridge. This move is seen as part of Chelsea's strategy to bolster their defense with young, high-potential players.
Despite interest from other clubs, including Bournemouth, whose manager has publicly responded to the speculation around Huijsen, Chelsea seems to be leading the race for his signature. The Blues' proactive approach, led by Maresca, underscores their determination to enhance their squad ahead of the upcoming season.
