Post: Crystal Palace is interested in 19-year-old Dutch star Smit, facing competition between Manchester United and Real Madrid

The Daily Mail reported that Crystal Palace has shown interest in the highly-anticipated Alkmar star Kiss Smit.

The 19-year-old is gradually becoming one of the most dazzling midfield geniuses trained by the Netherlands in recent years. He has been compared with De Jong of Barcelona and De Bruyne of Naples.

Smit became famous in the first game in 2023, when he scored a 50-yard, ultra-long-distance goal against Barcelona in the European Youth League. When the Netherlands won the U19 European Cup last summer, he won the best player in the tournament and tied for the scorer, becoming the focus of the game.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea and Manchester United have all sent scouts to visit Smit, but Crystal Palace hopes to propose their own plans to the young talent to prove that they can provide a more ideal career development channel.

Ambitious Crystal Palace is expected to receive a offer for midfielder Adam Walton next summer, so it is planning to find someone to strengthen the roster. Smit not only has excellent ball-handling ability and accurate passes, but also contributes goals to the team.

Alkmaar is believed to have asked Smit to be about £20 million, and the young player has made 12 appearances in the Eredivisie and the European Union this season.
