Real Madrid have confirmed the £50million signing of Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen.

The Dutchman, 20, has penned a five-year deal at the Santiago Bernabeu as Madrid look to bolster their squad before the revamped Club World Cup, which starts in June.  

Huijsen had seven offers on the table – with Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle all keen to take him – but agreed terms on Friday and is now a Madrid man.

He is the first confirmed signing through the door in what promises to be a busy summer in Madrid, with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to join and Xabi Alonso expected to replace incoming Brazil boss Carlo Ancelotti in the dugout.
