Dean Huijsen

Dean Huijsen feels like a glimpse of where the centre-back position is heading. A 196-centimeter defender who is comfortable carrying the ball and dictating tempo is still a rarity, and the speed of his rise, from Juventus Next Gen in early 2023 to a Serie A debut months later and then Real Madrid while barely out of his teens, suggests the top clubs see the same thing I do. His choice to represent Spain despite his Amsterdam roots adds an intriguing wrinkle to the story. Players born in 2005 should not look this assured at the elite level. I think he could define modern defending for the next decade.
