PATRICK KLUIVERT'S nine-year-old son Shane has signed for his dad's former club Barcelona.

The promising kid - who was playing for French giants Paris Saint-Germain - is already hot property in the football world with a sponsorship deal with Nike in the bag.

And now the Holland legend's youngest lad will follow in his old man's footsteps by going to the Nou Camp club.

He will play for FC Barcelona Alevin - the club's Under-11s.

Kluivert senior was technical director at Neymar's club but left in June after just a year in charge.

He now lives in Spain so the move for Shane makes sense and he will begin training at the famed La Masia on Monday.

Shane - whose older brother Justin, 18, plays for Ajax - made headlines last month when he penned a deal with Barcelona and PSG sponsors Nike.

He is believed to be the youngest athlete in Europe to put pen to paper on such a contract.

The deal was announced on Instagram by his chuffed father, who posted a picture of the duo with the caption: "My son so proud of you. Just signed his first contract with Nike at 9 years."

Last July Shane and his dad visited the facilities at Ciutat Esportiva - the training ground and academy base of Barcelona.

His arrival spells some good news for the crisis-hit Barcelona club.

Legend Andres Iniesta has admitted for the first time he is considering his future.

And Lionel Messi's father Jorge held talks with Manchester City chiefs over a possible move.
