Arne Slot may reunite with his old midfield prodigy
Liverpool are reportedly weighing a $29M move for AZ Alkmaar’s rising star Kees Smit, whom Ronald Koeman once dubbed ‘the next Pedri.’ With Arne Slot’s fond memories of coaching him, the connection feels clear—almost like re-downloading your favourite app after a phone upgrade.
Smit’s four goal contributions in 11 Eredivisie matches, plus two assists in the Conference League, make him one of Europe’s hottest young midfielders. Scouts have tracked him for months, and internal talks at Anfield are said to be picking up pace.
