Newcastle are considering signing Juventus center-back Dean Huijsen after missing out on Tosin Adarabioyo’s free transfer, according to Italian publication Tuttosport.

This is not the first time we’ve been associated with the Dutch-born defender, but it appears that we may face competition from Borussia Dortmund, who are due to face Real Madrid in the Champions League final tonight.
