Another Kluivert is set to terrorise defences in the Eredivisie.
Justin Kluivert, the son of Ajax and Barcelona great Patrick, scored his first senior goal for the Amsterdam giant Sunday against Excelsior. At 17 years and 318 days old, he has also managed to do it at an earlier age than his father (18 years, 58 days).
A pacy winger who can play dangerous passes into the box, Justin was coached by Patrick in Ajax's youth system before graduating to the first team.
He earned his full debut in a January win at PEC Zwolle, and has so far made 11 appearances for the club.
