Former NxGn winner Justin Kluivert has backed Ajax teenager Ryan Gravenberch to emulate him and win the 2020 prize.

"I think that the player who should win NxGn is Ajax’s Gravenberch," Kluivert, who now plays for Roma having left Amsterdam in the summer of 2018, told DAZN. "He is the new Paul Pogba.

"He is very good and very young. He is truly a top player."

Gravenberch has stepped up to become a regular in Erik ten Hag's side during the 2019-20 campaign having originally made his debut for the Eredivisie champions as a 16-year-old in September 2018.
