The Cherries ace has been in top form this season[/caption]

Huijsen’s 6ft 6in frame makes him a formidable opponent for even the best forwards.

And the teen’s brilliant form resulted in a senior debut for Spain against the Netherlands – the country of his birth – earlier this month.

Now, Bournemouth ace Huijsen is being linked with some of world football’s top teams.

Carabao Cup winners Newcastle have made him their top defensive target this summer.

While SunSport exclusively revealed that Huijsen is also high on the list of Real Madrid.

But now, Huijsen has been forced to explain why he looks stoned in a bizarre TV interview.

Talking to Papa Pincus, the Cherries star clarified he does not use cannabis.

And the reason for his “stoned” appearance is that he suffers from “sleepy eyes.”

Huijsen was asked: “This is a random question and it’s probably an expected answer, but it really seems to me like you are pretty medicated on weed. Do you smoke weed?”

Huijsen laughed as he answered: “So basically, for everyone watching, I have sleepy eyes, I have it from my mum.

Bournemouth star Dean Huijsen couldn't be happier being nominated for Premier League player of the month

Huijsen made his debut for Spain this month[/caption]

“My mum has sleepy eyes. I’m not high, I’m sorry, I’m not high. We are not allowed to take weed. It’s doping control.

“I’m not high, it’s how I was born. I can’t do anything about it.”

Huijsen was then referred to a picture showing him holding up a Man of the Match award with one red eye.

He responded: “I got a ball in my eye. Someone shot and it just went right in my eye, so it was even worse.

“(Born in Amsterdam?) Maybe it’s just in the air, who knows.”

Some fans were quick to respond, with one calling it a “weird” interview.

They said: “What a weird thing to ask.”

Another declared: “What a strange question.”

One noted: “He handled it well.”

Another added: “Weird to ask a question like that.”
