"Yeah, I'm sure Liverpool like a lot of the top European clubs are looking at Smit. He is very highly regarded, seen as one of the best young Dutch players to come through in recent years, he's still only 19 but he's a key player in that AZ team. He's a player that Liverpool boss Arne Slot is well aware of with his Dutch connections, he's obviously an ex-AZ manager so he's aware of the talent of Smit."
"He's a player that Liverpool boss Arne Slot is well aware of with his Dutch connections, he's obviously an ex-AZ manager so he's aware of the talent of Smit. He's certainly a player Liverpool will continue to keep tabs on. Maybe in the summer AZ might be more open to selling him but again it would be a big fee I think for them to sell him probably looking at a club record deal of excess of £25 million."
Liverpool are interested in signing 19-year-old Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar and are among several top European clubs monitoring him. Smit is highly regarded and considered one of the best young Dutch prospects, while serving as a key player for AZ. Arne Slot has familiarity with Smit through his Dutch connections and previous role at AZ, increasing Liverpool's awareness. Liverpool are expected to continue tracking Smit, with AZ possibly more open to a sale in the summer. Any transfer would likely command a club-record fee in excess of £25 million. He remains only 19, which underscores his potential and value for both club and prospective buyers.
