Dean Huijsen has impressed at the back for Bournemouth this season (Picture: Getty Images) Rising Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen has been attracting a lot of attention and can be bought for £50m this summer due to a release clause set to become active in the next transfer window. The 19-year-old has had a unique career so far, coming through the youth ranks at Malaga before moving to Juventus and gaining his first real senior experience on loan at Roma for the first half of 2024. Bournemouth snapped him up on a permanent deal from Juventus last summer for an initial £12.8m, which could rise to £15.3m with add-ons. Since then…

Ex-Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown (Picture: Getty) Martin Keown says Manchester United paid an ‘obscene’ amount to sign ‘robotic’ defender Matthijs de Ligt from Bayern Munich. Netherlands international De Ligt arrived at Old Trafford last summer in a double deal with Noussair Mazraoui that could cost United up to £60m. De Ligt spent two years at Bayern but struggled to live up to the hype following a €77m move from Juventus. The centre-back, now 25, helped Juve win Serie A and Coppa Italia after also lifting silverware at his boyhood club Ajax. It was at Ajax that De Ligt first played under Erik ten Hag and the Dutch coach…

Chelsea were at the time delighted to beat Arsenal to a deal (Picture: Getty) One of Chelsea’s most expensive signings has been labelled a ‘disaster’ – and in another world he could have joined Arsenal. Chelsea saw off fierce competition from London rivals Arsenal when they signed Mykhailo Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023. Mudryk only made 44 appearances for the Ukrainian side but impressed enough to earn a £62m move to Stamford Bridge, plus a further £27m in bonuses. A 22-year-old Mudryk signed a staggering eight-and-a-half year contract at Chelsea but time is already running out for the winger to save his Premier League career. Mudryk earned rave reviews…

AC Milan chief Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Chelsea loanee Joao Felix (Pictures: Getty) Zlatan Ibrahimovic has opened the door to AC Milan signing Joao Felix from Chelsea on a permanent transfer this summer. Portugal forward Felix joined the Serie A side on loan in January after a frustrating first-half of the season at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea spent £45m to sign Felix from Atletico Madrid last summer but it was always hard to see where the 25-year-old would play given the attacking talent in Enzo Maresca’s squad and the presence of England playmaker Cole Palmer. Felix started just three Premier League games for the Blues before agreeing to join AC Milan, currently…

Man Utd have been accused of making a ‘massive’ transfer mistake (Picture: Getty) Manchester United hero Paul Parker believes his former club are still paying the price for a ‘massive’ transfer mistake they made two years ago. United’s dismal form under Ruben Amorim continued on Sunday as the Manchester giants lost their 12th league game of the season, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham. The deflating loss leaves Manchester United 15th in the Premier League, just three places and 12 points above the relegation zone. Two-time title winner Parker says there are any number of problems at Old Trafford, one being the team’s defensive fragility. The Red Devils spent almost…

Barcelona are looking to sign a new No. 9 this summer (Picture: Getty) Barcelona have turned their attentions to Arsenal’s top target Alexander Isak as they expect Manchester United to win the race for Viktor Gyokeres, according to reports in Spain. The La Liga giants are expected to sign a new No. 9 this summer to replace Robert Lewandowski, who will be 37 by the time the 2026-27 season begins. Poland legend Lewandoswki continues to impress at the Nou Camp, scoring 31 goals in 33 games this season and 90 in 128 since joining the club, but Barcelona have one eye on the future and want to bring in a…

Cole Palmer has quickly developed into one of the best players in England (Picture: Getty) Cole Palmer has been told three clubs he could join amid Chelsea’s worrying slump. Chelsea were tipped to challenge for the Premier League title earlier in the season as they emerged as Liverpool’s biggest rival at the top of the table. Enzo Maresca’s side had the chance to go top in mid-December but have won just three of their 11 games since then to slip to sixth in the Premier League. Chelsea, who were also recently dumped out of the FA Cup, now face a huge battle just to qualify for the Champions League, sitting…

Ex-England midfielder Jamie Redknapp (Picture: Sky Sports) Jamie Redknapp has named the Manchester United star who should have left the club in January. Ruben Amorim offloaded three first-team players during the January transfer window, with Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia all leaving on loan. But ex-England midfielder Redknapp was surprised to see Casemiro remain at Old Trafford after the window closed following his difficult spell in Manchester. The Brazilian legend won five Champions League trophies at Real Madrid but has struggled at United and seen his playing time reduced since Ruben Amorim took over in November. Casemiro was linked with a move to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr last month, while…

Ibrahima Konate has become a mainstay in the Liverpool starting XI (Picture: Getty Images) Ibrahima Konate has not done much to end speculation of a Liverpool exit, amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. The 25-year-old took time to establish himself in the Liverpool starting XI after joining from RB Leipzig in 2021 but has now cemented his place in the heart of the defence. The France international has forged a partnership with Virgil van Dijk at centre-back that is proving very successful this season as the Reds challenge for the Premier League and Champions League, while also have a Carabao Cup final to look forward to. The defender…

Marcus Rashford is on loan at Aston Villa until the summer (Photo: Getty) Marcus Rashford is reportedly still dreaming of a transfer to a European giant despite having only just signed for Aston Villa. The England international joined Villa on loan from Manchester United at the end of the January transfer window, with his career at Old Trafford all but over. The Villans have the forward until the end of the season and hold the option to buy him permanently for £40million in the summer. There was much speculation over where Rashford would move to after falling out with Ruben Amorim and getting banished from the United first-team. It was…
