When Justin Kluivert landed at Bournemouth in the summer of 2023, a lot of people probably thought, “Oh, he’s Patrick Kluivert’s son. Let’s see what he’s got.” Well, fast forward to now, and Justin is not just living up to the name; he’s making his own.
This season, Kluivert has been flying. He’s not just playing well, he’s balling out. Justin Kluivert will continue to shine for AFC Bournemouth coming season 2025/2026

The Rise: Kluivert’s Best Season Yet 🚀
This season has proven to be a seismic shift for Kluivert, whose performance has reached unprecedented heights. With every match, he showcases an impressive blend of skill, determination, and tactical awareness that has left fans and critics alike in awe. His ability to create scoring opportunities not only for himself but also for his teammates exemplifies his growth as a player. Moreover, he has consistently found the back of the net, tallying an impressive number of goals that underline his crucial role in the team's success. As he continues to build on this momentum, Kluivert has established himself as a key player to watch, igniting excitement and hope for even greater achievements in the upcoming fixtures. Justin has been Bournemouth’s main man in the 2024-25 season. He’s already racked up 12 Premier League goals and 6 assists, his best-ever numbers.
And let’s talk about the moments. A penalty hat-trick against Wolves? Cold. Another hat-trick away at Newcastle? Ice cold. It’s not just the goals, though—it’s when he’s scoring them. Big away days, pressure games, moments when Bournemouth needed a hero… Kluivert delivered.
He’s been thriving as a number 10 under Andoni Iraola, but honestly, he’s dangerous wherever you put him across the front line. The boss trusts him, and he’s repaying that faith in style.

The Fans Are Loving It ❤️
The Bournemouth faithful can’t get enough. Whether it’s his quick feet, his pressing, or his swagger in front of goal, Justin’s got the fans on their feet every week. Even when he’s not scoring, his energy and work rate are top tier.
Where He Can Level Up Bournemouth twist of results
As good as Kluivert has been, there are still a couple of places where he can go from baller to world-class:
- Consistency: He’s lights out in the big games, but he can go a bit quiet in the smaller ones. Getting that steady level every week? That’s how he makes the jump.
- Decision-Making: Sometimes, in the final third, he’s a bit too eager. Tighten up those quick choices, pass, shoot, hold, and he’s golden.
- Full-Game Fitness: His best work usually comes late in games. If he can hit that same intensity for all 90 minutes, it’s game over for defenders. We understand that Kluivert’s deal runs until June 2027 so he's got more time to get bigger with Bournemouth.
Bournemouth has made a shocking survival showing strength and hard work, and is still keeping an eye on going to Europe. Though they have a small stadium with an 11,300-capacity, they are not as rich as giant English sides, nor have an intense squad. Bournemouth have created a spirit that’s transformed them from relegation candidates in the Premier League at the start of last season to European hopefuls just 18 months later.

It’s been a remarkable turnaround, one befitting a club that’s overcome its fair share of adversity throughout its journey from the lower reaches of the English football pyramid.
