Actual Madrid center-back Dean Huijsen has been formally nominated for the distinguished PFA Younger Participant of the Yr award, following a stellar mortgage spell at Bournemouth throughout the 2024/25 Premier League season.
Huijsen shortly established himself as a cornerstone of the membership’s backline. The 20-year-old’s composure on the ball, aerial dominance, and tactical intelligence helped rework Bournemouth’s protection into one of the disciplined models within the league. Remarkably, the Cherries completed the marketing campaign with the fewest objectives conceded in a single Premier League season within the membership’s historical past — a feat by which Huijsen performed a central function.
The shortlist for the PFA Younger Participant of the Yr contains a few of England’s brightest abilities. Becoming a member of Huijsen are now-Chelsea striker Liam Delap, Arsenal duo Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri, Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez, and Aston Villa’s dynamic midfielder Morgan Rogers. The nominees had been chosen by members of the Skilled Footballers’ Affiliation, highlighting the respect Huijsen has earned amongst his friends.
Additional testomony to Huijsen’s affect was the popularity he obtained inside the Bournemouth dressing room — the Dutch worldwide was voted the membership’s Gamers’ Participant of the Yr on the conclusion of the season.
The winner of the award might be revealed throughout a ceremony in Manchester on August 19.
