Liverpool could have an advantage in its pursuit of young Bournemouth defender Dean Huijsen due to the club's Dutch contingent.

Huijsen is a Spain international having moved to Marbella when he was five years old, but he was in fact born in Amsterdam to Dutch parents, and considers his family to be Dutch.

Liverpool has a number of Dutchmen on its staff and in its playing squad, including Arne Slot, Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch, while Jeremie Frimpong has also been linked with a summer switch to Merseyside.

David Ornstein of The Athletic said that the Dutch feel to Liverpool's squad could add to the club's pull as he addressed the Reds' transfer plans.

Huijsen comes from a Dutch background even though he plays for Spain and it will be fascinating to see which way they go because there is actually a lot to do."

Huijsen explained his decision to represent Spain instead of the Netherlands earlier this year, saying: "I feel Spanish, Spain is my home

If Spain doesn't call me up, I will continue to be Spanish and if they don't call me up in (the next) 20 years, I will continue to be Spanish

I don't care."

After making his senior debut for Spain in a Nations League game against the Netherlands during the March international break, he said: "Apparently it was meant to be that I got to make my debut for Spain against the Netherlands."
