Shane Kluivert, the youngest son of former Barcelona striker Patrick, has signed his first sponsorship deal despite being just nine years old.

He is the youngest European athlete to have such a contract having penned a five-year agreement with Nike, which would bring him to the age of 15.

Kluivert, who is in the youth ranks of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, does boast a legion of fans across his various social media accounts.

On Instagram, no child has more followers as he has exceeded 118,00, while his YouTube channel has 32,000 subscribers and the views on his videos are over 100,000.
