Kluivert: “I improved as a player at Roma, I’m very happy to be here at Leipzig.”


Justin Kluivert spoke again today during the international break regarding his loan move to RB Leipzig.

The 21 year-old joined the German for the remainder of the season after having fallen down in the pecking order of Roma boss Paulo Fonseca.


“I learned a lot at Roma, I improved as a player,” proclaimed the Dutchman to the club’s website.

“I was close to joining Leipzig two years ago, it’s true, we had good discussions – as I did with Roma.”

“Ultimately I went to Roma, but now I’m here and I’m very happy and I’m ready to give 100% for Leipzig. We can achieve results together, it’s an ambitious club with many good players.”
