Real Madrid confirm Dean Huijsen signing from Bournemouth

Real Madrid have completed the signing of Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen, the LaLiga club have confirmed.

Huijsen has enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign in the Premier League after joining Bournemouth from Juventus and Madrid have swooped to see off competition for the 20-year-old, agreeing to meet his £50 million ($60m) transfer clause so he can play in June's Club World Cup.

"The centre-back, who joined the Cherries from Juventus last summer, has been instrumental in the club's record-breaking campaign, which has seen Andoni Iraola's side already break their highest points tally in the Premier League," Bournemouth said in a statement.
