Justin Kluivert
26-Year-Old
AFC Bournemouth
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kluivert developed well during 2024/25 under Andoni Iraola's leadership, as he completed the campaign as the club's top goalscorer with 12 and creator of the most assists with six. He also assumed the mantle of penalty taker where he successfully converted all six attempted. The regular starting midfielder will continue as a kernel element of the Cherries starting XI in 2025/26 where he'll hope to improve on his tally of goals and assists as he grows further into a world-class player.
Impactful bench appearance in draw
Kluivert recorded one shot (on target), two crosses (none accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Kluivert came off the bench Sunday after 63 minutes and nearly broke the deadlock when his low free-kick in stoppage time forced a sharp save from Nick Pope. It was his only shot on target in a match otherwise starved of chances. He also drew plenty of attention from Newcastle defenders, illustrating his positional threat even when service was limited. Recent games suggest Kluivert has been more effective when introduced in the second half, exploiting tiring backlines with clever runs and set-piece involvement, though he's still lacking volume of shots and assists in tighter fixtures.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leverkusen showing interest
Leverkusen want to sign Kluivert, according to The Daily Mail.
ANALYSIS
Leverkusen need to sign a new playmaker in order to fill the void left by Florian Wirtz, who's set to join Liverpool in the near future. Kluivert would be an absolute success in the Bundesliga, but it's unclear if the Cherries would be open to letting him leave, especially since Bournemouth could lose other key players, such as Antoine Semenyo or Milos Kerkez, in the coming weeks.
