Dean Huijsen has freshly admitted that he is 'pretty relaxed' about his future amid intense speculation over a £50m summer transfer.

If Liverpool required any more convincing to splash the cash on the central defender, he has just gone and scored against the Reds' closest Premier League title rivals Arsenal.

With 33 appearances for Bournemouth this season on the back of his £15.3 million arrival last summer, Huijsen has quickly emerged as one of the country's hottest defensive properties.

Upon learning of a £50m release clause existing as the next summer window approaches, Liverpool are reportedly among the top clubs ready to fight it out for his signature.

On Saturday night the 20-year-old put in a man of the match award-winning performance, scoring a headed equaliser as the Cherries beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.

"I think I'm pretty relaxed, just a chill guy, I don't really think about it too much," the Spanish international responded.

"I just go to training every morning, we have a great group, great staff, great everything at the club.

"I just enjoy my football and I enjoy myself.

At the moment I'm just having fun playing football.

It's going well so I am happy."

Also asked about his youth despite playing at such a demanding level, Huijsen replied: "I always say if you're good enough, you're old enough.

"I think that's what we've proven this season.

"I'm not sure but I think we have one of the best defensive record so I am happy to be here."

As well as having his hand in seven Premier League clean sheets this year, Huijsen has netted for the third time this season with his goal against the Gunners.

All have been scored with his head.

And interestingly having previously scored against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, that means all of his contributions during his breakout season have come against Liverpool's traditional 'big six' rivals.
