While on international duty with Spain, Huijsen was asked to build his perfect player:
Headers? Ramos
Shooting? Ronaldo
Defense? Ramos
Reflexes? Casillas
Dead ball? Juninho
Leadership? Ramos
Looking at the above list, clearly it’s as clear as day that this kid breaths Real Madrid. It’s not a coincidence that everyone aside Juninho on that list is a Real Madrid legend.
Also, while talking to Relevo, Huijsen claimed Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos is the greatest CB in history. He also followed up by saying Ramos is his idol, and he takes a lot of reference from his game.
Amidst the “fan boy” advantage, The source claims Real Madrid are on the move to make things happen THIS summer. The 19 year old’s performances for Spain did his CV a tone of good, as it has gotten Madrid even more locked in.
As it’s believed, Real Madrid’s main competitor for Huijsen is Chelsea. The premier League heavyweights are looking to bolster their backline, and they too think Huijsen is the right man.
A Left CB to be precise, Huijsen is without a doubt what Real Madrid needs. However, nothing is decided as of yet.
With just a little over 2 months left for the season, it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
