Real Madrid has secured defender Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth by triggering his $50 million release clause. The 20-year-old, who shined in his debut Premier League season and recently debuted for Spain, joins the Spanish giants as part of a defensive rebuild during a period of managerial change.
In the FA Cup Fourth Round, Bournemouth clinched a 3-2 victory over Everton with Philip Billing's standout performance, while Newcastle narrowly beat Birmingham 2-1, thanks to Joe Willock's winning goal. Ipswich dealt a crushing 4-0 defeat to Coventry, intensifying pressure on Frank Lampard. Manchester United and Brighton also secured hard-fought wins.
