'This is the ideal place for me': New RB Leipzig loanee Justin Kluivert reveals delight over move from Roma... with the winger insisting he's 'excited' to clash with PSG and Manchester United in the Champions League

Justin Kluivert is convinced RB Leipzig is the perfect club to nurture his inherited talent after completing a season-long loan from Roma.

The Dutchman rose through Ajax's academy just like his father, Patrick, before a breakout season in 2017-18 earned a move to Roma. However, he's yet to lock down his place in Roma's starting XI after two seasons.

RB Leipzig have drafted the 21-year-old in to help replace Timo Werner after their record goalscorer left for Chelsea, and Kluivert is determined to make a success of his German diversion.
