AFC Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert should consider a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the future.

That’s according to former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam, and he backs the 25-year-old to join Tottenham.

Stam mentions Tottenham when discussing the Bournemouth star during Viaplay podcast Weijland & Stam, and his comments are relayed by Voetbal Primeur.

Last weekend, the attacking midfielder scored a hat-trick in Bournemouth’s 4-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

He scored five goals and two assists from 13 league games this season and his displays for the Cherries helped him make an appearance for the Netherlands earlier this month, for the first time in over six years.

Stam is of the belief the former AS Roma man is ready to leave Bournemouth and insists Tottenham could be the right club for him.

Koen Weijland asked Stam if Kulivert is ‘ready for a step up’. Responding to that, he said: “He could be. A team like Spurs could be a nice next step, I think.

“Eventually maybe even higher, but if you start looking in steps: he has to hold on to it, of course. You have to stay at a certain level then, you have to keep making an impact at the club. Eventually you will then stand out in the English league.”

The Netherlands international’s contract at Bournemouth lasts until 2028.
