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.
Makes presence felt from bench appearance
Kluivert generated two shots (zero on goal) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Wolverhampton.
ANALYSIS
Kluivert made his first start of the season from the bench Saturday after 78 minutes. He missed the season opener at Anfield due to a preseason calf injury. The Dutchman's presence added width and pace to Bournemouth's attack, he narrowly missed a goal attempt and had another strike blocked. Now that he is fit and integrated into the starting lineup he should evolve to regularly score goals and produce assists through his ability to stretch defenses and deliver accurate crosses.

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.
