AFC Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert (26) has joined Epic Sports, aligning with an agency built around elite dealmaking and player development. Kluivert arrives with a uniquely broad résumé for his age: competitive minutes in all five of Europe’s top leagues—Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1—plus formative years at Ajax.
A short history of Kluivert’s clubs
Born in Amsterdam and raised in the Ajax academy, Kluivert broke into the first team before a high-profile move to AS Roma in 2018. He then gained top-flight experience via loans at RB Leipzig (Bundesliga), OGC Nice (Ligue 1) and Valencia CF (LaLiga). In 2023 he joined AFC Bournemouth, where he has delivered versatile attacking minutes across the front line.
Career pathway (high level):
Ajax → Roma → RB Leipzig (loan) → OGC Nice (loan) → Valencia CF (loan) → AFC Bournemouth.
Representation: previously Team RAIOLA
Before this change, Kluivert was represented by Team RAIOLA (legacy agency of the late Mino Raiola and continued by his partners and nephew Vincenzo Raiola). Team RAIOLA handled his recent years in Italy, Germany, France and Spain prior to his move to the Premier League.
Why this move now?
Kluivert’s game is built on acceleration, direct running, and goal-oriented movement—traits that have translated in multiple systems and leagues. He has matured from a pure winger into a forward who can attack between lines, threaten depth, and press from the front, a profile that suits data-driven recruitment across Europe. With Epic Sports, he gains a structure focused on clear career mapping, performance milestones, and commercial positioning for a player entering his prime.
He scored 12 goals and added 6 assists in the 2024/2025 Premier League season. With an average rating of 7.1 on Flashscore.
Recent form and momentum
Since landing in Bournemouth, Kluivert has produced decisive moments and milestone performances, underscoring his adaptability in the Premier League while adding end product. Those outputs, combined with his experience in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, give him a rare pan-league sample size that clubs value when planning roles and fees.
The road ahead
With Epic Sports, the plan is straightforward:
- Stabilize and scale his Premier League output within Bournemouth’s high-tempo approach.
- Target top-tier benchmarks (chance creation, final-third touches, non-penalty xG) that translate across leagues.
- Sequence the next steps—from contract strategy to potential European opportunities—on a timeline that maximizes both performance and market value.
- Kluivert has still potential to join the top club if he continues in the same fashion.
