New Real Madrid signing Dean Huijsen was officially presented as a new player at the club's Valdebebas training ground on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old's transfer to Real Madrid from Bournemouth for almost 60 million euros was confirmed on May 17th, but he wasn't officially presented due to his commitments with the Spain national team and he played both the semi-final and the final of the UEFA Nations League, which the Spanish lost on penalties to Portugal on Sunday night.

Huijsen impressed both against Portugal and also against France in the semifinal and the club hopes he will provide balance and height for a defense that struggled with defensive injuries last season, with both Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal suffering campaign ending injuries early in the campaign and David Alaba never getting fully fit after knee surgery.

Although he was born in the Netherlands, Huijsen grew up close to Malaga and moves to Real Madrid after an impressive debut season in the Premier League.

At his presentation he admitted it had been easy to make the decision to return to Spain despite interest from other English clubs.

"I'm joining the best club in the world and I'm here to give my all," he said, adding that he had "wanted to be here since day one, since they called me, I didn't consider any other team."

"I'm here to give my all. I'm going to work as hard as I can and remain humble. Hopefully, we can win lots of trophies together, starting with the Club World Cup," said Huijsen.

The defender will have his first training session with his new team-mates on Tuesday and then after two more Real Madrid flies to Miami to play its opening game against Saudi Arabian outfit, Al-Hilal on June 18th.
