Video: Like father, like son. Justin Kluivert scores two crackers for Ajax youths

He has a long way before he can begin to try and emulate his father at senior level, but with Justin Kluivert, the Netherlands just might have some Dutch Gold on their hands.

He has a long way before he can begin to try and emulate his father at senior level, but with Justin Kluivert, the Netherlands just might have some Dutch Gold on their hands.

The Ajax academy is famed around the world for the players it has produced, from the likes of Johan Cruyff to Marco van Basten to Dennis Bergkamp and, of course, Patrick Kluivert, who enjoyed a glittering career with clubs such as Ajax, AC Milan, Barcelona and eh, Newcastle, and also terrorised the Irish defence at Anfield during a play-off to qualify for Euro ’96.

The all-time leading scorer for the Dutch national side, Kluivert hung up his boots in 2008 but it might not be long until we hear the Kluivert name in football circles again; certainly judging by these two brilliantly-taken finishes by young Justin Kluivert in an Ajax youths game recently.

It wasn’t from the wind he licked it that’s for sure.
