Defender Dean Huijsen from Juventus has been signed by AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee.
The 19-year-old has agreed a six-year deal with the Cherries, keeping him at Vitality Stadium until at least the summer of 2030.
He becomes the club’s fourth senior signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Alex Paulsen, Daniel Jebbison and the permanent addition of Enes Ünal.
AFC Bournemouth chief executive Neill Blake told afcb.co.uk: “We are delighted to bring in a player of such high calibre on a long-term deal.
“Dean is someone that has such exciting potential and we are all excited to see where his journey with the club will go.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming him to Vitality Stadium and working together to help develop further all the qualities that he already possesses.”
Amsterdam-born centre-back Huijsen arrives having spent the second half of last season on loan at Roma, where he made 13 appearances in all competitions.
