AFC Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen will depart the club for Real Madrid at the end of the season after the Spanish side activated the player's £50million release clause. 

Real Madrid say Huijsen has signed a five-year deal until June 2030.

Huijsen will leave the Premier League after only one season. He joined Bournemouth from Italian club Juventus last summer and has made 30 Premier League appearances, scoring three goals, helping the Cherries set a record points tally in the competition. 

The 6ft 6in 20-year-old has made 181 clearances and won 114 duels, and become known for his "chill guy" celebration. His form this season has earned him a full international debut with Spain and a nomination for the Hublot Young Player of the Season award.

Bournemouth say they are "looking forward to working with Dean for the remaining two games of the Premier League season, before he embarks on the next step of his career." Read Bournemouth's statement in full
