WagwanvibesAccording to TBR Football, a number of Premier League clubs sent scouts to Amsterdam last weekend to watch Dutch teenage sensation Kees Smit, one of the brightest young talents emerging from the AZ Alkmaar academy. The 18-year-old midfielder has drawn rave reviews for his technical quality, intelligence on the ball, and passing ability — earning comparisons to Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne.
Sources suggest that Newcastle United have now joined Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and several other English clubs in monitoring Smit’s progress. The Magpies are believed to be assessing young midfield options as part of their long-term recruitment plan, with Eddie Howe keen to add creativity and depth to his squad ahead of next summer.
Scouts were reportedly impressed by Smit’s calmness under pressure and his ability to dictate play from deep positions. His performances in the Eredivisie have not gone unnoticed across Europe, with clubs from Germany and Spain also keeping tabs on the player.
AZ Alkmaar, known for developing talents such as Teun Koopmeiners and Myron Boadu, are expected to demand a significant fee if Smit’s suitors come knocking. However, insiders claim the club is determined to nurture the youngster for at least another season before entertaining offers.
With Premier League giants circling, Smit’s development will be closely watched throughout the campaign. If he continues his rapid rise, a big-money move could be on the horizon potentially making him one of the most sought-after teenagers in European football.
