Dean Huijsen poised to debut for Spain against Netherlands

Dean Huijsen, a young footballer, is gearing up for a significant moment in his career. He could make his debut for Spain against the Netherlands in the Nations League quarter-finals this week. Born in Amsterdam, Huijsen moved to Malaga when he was five years old. Huijsen has switched his international allegiance from the Netherlands to Spain. He feels confident in his decision and says he will not regret it, even if Spain does not select him in the future. “I feel Spanish, Spain is my home,” he said. He is excited about the possibility of playing in the match against the Netherlands, where he used to captain the under-19 team. After moving to Spain, Huijsen joined Juventus at the age of 16. He received Spanish citizenship in early 2024 and has played for Spain’s under-21 team seven times. Recently, he was promoted to the senior team after an injury to another player. Huijsen has been impressive this season with Bournemouth, helping the team to a mid-table position in the Premier League. His performances have attracted attention from top European clubs. He expressed pride at the rumors linking him to Real Madrid, mentioning his admiration for Sergio Ramos. The first leg of the Nations League quarter-final will take place in Rotterdam, followed by the second leg in Valencia on Sunday. The winner will advance to face either Croatia or France in the semi-finals. The final is scheduled for June 8 in either Turin or Munich.
