Bournemouth agree initial €15m deal for Juventus defender Dean Huijsen

• Huijsen played for Juve and Roma in Serie A last season
• Bournemouth owner expects Dominic Solanke to stay

Bournemouth have agreed an initial €15m (£12.6m) deal with Juventus for the defender Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old, who has played for the Netherlands and more recently Spain at youth level, could cost €18m with add-ons.

There is rival interest but Bournemouth are hopeful of winning the race for Huijsen, who made one Serie A appearance for Juventus last season before going on loan to Roma, where he played another 13 top-flight matches. He has tended to be used as a central defender.
