He beat Cherries teammate Dean Huijsen to the award, as well as Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak, Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta and Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
Speaking to the club, Kluivert said: “This is an honour. Thanks to the team, of course, thanks to everyone who voted, and super happy with it, really.
