Newcastle United have been strongly linked with an exciting move for highly-rated Dutch midfielder Kees Smit, and the latest image circulating online has sent Magpies fans into full speculation mode. The smiling youngster pictured in a Newcastle United shirt has added fresh fuel to growing rumours that St James’ Park could be his next destination.
Smit, who has been making serious waves at AZ Alkmaar, is regarded as one of the brightest young talents in the Netherlands. His technical quality, composure on the ball and intelligent movement have attracted attention from several European clubs, but Newcastle United are now believed to be monitoring his situation closely.
With Newcastle United continuing their long-term project of blending youth with elite-level ambition, Smit fits the profile perfectly. The club’s recruitment team has focused heavily on young players with high ceilings, and the Dutchman’s versatility in midfield makes him an appealing option.
While no official bid has been confirmed, sources suggest internal discussions have already taken place. The image of Smit smiling in black and white has gone viral among supporters, many seeing it as a sign of what could be to come.
If Newcastle push ahead, this could be one of the most exciting under-the-radar moves of the window — and a potential star in the making for the Premier League.
