Liverpool are now weighing up the possibility of submitting a formal offer for highly rated Kees Smit, the 19-year-old midfield prodigy lighting up AZ Alkmaar.
According to early indications, Arne Slot has been a huge admirer of Smit for a long time, having tracked his development closely during his time in the Eredivisie. The young central midfielder is seen as one of the most technically gifted talents to emerge from the Dutch system in recent years—calm in possession, intelligent between the lines, and fearless under pressure.
There’s growing belief inside Liverpool’s recruitment team that Smit could become a perfect long-term project:
— A player who fits their tactical evolution
— A signing who brings energy, creativity, and modern midfield versatility
— And someone young enough to be moulded into a future star under Slot’s guidance
