Huijsen 'definitely one you would take at Newcastle'
On Wednesday, our senior football correspondent Sami Mokbel reported Newcastle United are one of four clubs interested in Bournemouth centre-back Dean Huijsen.The 20-year-old joined the Cherries from Juventus last summer on a six-year deal for an initial £12.8m with possible add-ons.Now a clutch of Premier League clubs are targeting the youngster - and the Magpies' pursuit has got the seal of approval from former Newcastle United defender John Anderson."I thought he was excellent when Bournemouth beat us up here," Anderson told BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport Newcastle United podcast."I thought he was cool and calm. He was very good and he is only 20 years of age."The trouble is that with so many clubs interested in him, it does become a bidding war then."So there are going to be a lot of sides interested, but he is definitely one you would take at Newcastle - that's for sure."Listen to the full conversation on BBC Sounds
