Justin Kluivert, son of legendary striker Patrick, has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Ajax, playing in 16 matches so far, but he is already looking ahead to the next stages of his career.

"If you get a nice offer, you never know," the 18-year-old told 'Helden'. "England appeals to me: Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea or Manchester United are nice clubs where I can see myself playing in a few years."

He admitted however that his father's legacy precedes him, and move to Barcelona, where Patrick Kluivert played for six seasons. 

"Everywhere I go abroad they know my father, he often asks: 'Come to Barcelona, I'll give a tour of Camp Nou'. I really wanted to go to Barcelona instead of Real Madrid. Barcelona is in my heart, but who am I to say no to Real Madrid?", the young Kluivert continued. 

However, he was quoted earlier in the month as saying the chances of him leaving Ajax this sumer are "slim".

Patrick Kluivert scored the winning goal for Ajax in the 1995 Champions League Final before playing for Milan, Barcelona and Newcastle
