The 16-year-old son of Ajax legend Patrick Kluivert reportedly agreed to a deal with the Amsterdam club weeks ago but finally put pen to paper on his three-year contract on Friday.
The winger has been a revelation for Ajax’s B1 squad this season and has already featured for the U19’s as he looks to follow in his dads footsteps.
Speaking to the official Ajax website, Justin stated his ambition to reach the first team soon, “I have played now for nine years at Ajax and that means a lot to me. It is a reward for everything I’ve done so far. My goal is to be a starting player in the A1 next year. I want to be important for the team. After that I hope to move quickly towards the first team. I want to play in the Arena. “
