At 19 years of age, Dean Huijsen has plenty of promise during his loan spell at Roma since making the move to the capital side in January, and it seems he could very well have a prominent role to play at his parent club Juventus in 2024/25 as they look to shake up their defensive core.
Born in Amsterdam to Dutch parents, Huijsen left for Spain at five years of age, beginning his youth career in Spain at Costa Unida CF De Marbella before joining Malaga just aged 10 in 2015. He would then spend six years at Malaga before joining Juventus in 2021 to play for the Juventus under 17.
In 2023 he would get promoted to the Juventus Next Gen side which is the reserve team of Juventus. The Juventus Next Gen side play in the third division of Italian football which is Serie C. Huijsen had a knack of scoring goals from defence, grabbing seven goals in nineteen games including braces against Fiorentina and Sassuolo, whilst he also scored against Sampdoria, Genoa and Parma Under 17 side.
