Bournemouth signed Huijsen last summer for £12.5m on a six-year contract with Juve likely regretting their decision. The teenager has played at youth level for both the Netherlands and Spain.

Speaking in December of how impressed he has been with Huijsen since his arrival at Bournemouth, Iraola said: “I think he has shown from the beginning that he can do this.

“He plays with confidence and even though he is 19-years-old he has played a few games. But now with the injury to Marcos [Senesi], he for sure will have to play more.

“It is not always easy to play as a defender in the Premier League, but I hope the young players can grow together and continue their development. The good thing for them is that they have room to improve.”

Bournemouth are fifth in the Premier League table, a point behind on 43.

They host this coming weekend before welcoming Vitor Pereira's side to the south coast again a week later for an fifth round tie. Between that they have a midweek visit to and Hove Albion.

Huijsen last month made it clear that Europe was the target. "We’re doing well and I think we can qualify for Europe. We have the quality and the potential," he told .

"Who wouldn’t want to play in Europe? I think everyone would like that. It would go down in the history of the club. It would be great for all of the players, fans and everyone involved. I think it is realistic with how we are playing.

"We are doing well and all of the stats show that it’s not just luck and we deserve to be here. We just need to keep on working hard, stay humble and continue proving ourselves."
