The 6ft 6in centre-back, 19, has emerged as a key player for Andoni Iraola following last summer’s initial £12.8million move from Juventus.
Huijsen has clocked up 25 Premier League appearances as Bournemouth push for a European finish.

And Huijsen even confirmed that his Bournemouth contract contains a release clause – although he refused to reveal the exact figure amid reports of a £50million trigger.
Revealing that a friend has been showing him stories linking him to Real Madrid, Huijsen said: “One of my close friends sent me a story about Real. He told me to go to Madrid!
“I don’t know, we’ll see. It’s a big team. Every player wants to play at the maximum level possible.
“I have a contract until 2030, I do have a clause.
“(Idol?) Ramos, since I was young. (Ancelotti?) He is a very good coach. He’s not at Madrid for nothing, he has his merit.”
