Justin Kluivert: "It's nice to hear that Leo Messi wants you"

In an interview with Four Four Two, Justin Kluivert spoke about reports that Lionel Messi wants to play with him.

The Ajax forward said he didn't know if they were true, but feels flattered. 

"I have heard those rumours too, but I don't know if they are true. I'm not in contact with him and only Messi knows what has gone on really, but it's nice to hear it."

At 18 and recently called up by Koeman to the national team squad, clubs like Man United have shown interest in the son of Patrick Kluivert.

The player's agent Mino Raiola told the Telegraph: "Justin is a young boy with great feelings towards Ajax and prefers to stay here".
