According to the latest report from Sky Sports reporter Keith Downie, five teams that can participate in the European War this season are interested in signing Alkmaar's 19-year-old Dutch creative midfielder Smit. The five European teams are Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern.

According to reporter Keith Downie, the Premier League team Newcastle is very interested in Smit. The Magpies believe that Smit is a very potential midfield star. However, Newcastle faces competition from Crystal Palace, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern. Among them, Crystal Palace has played against Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League, and team scouts have already inspected Smit on site. And Smit hopes to prove himself on a bigger stage. Alkmaar's current top bid in team history is Reinders' transfer to AC Milan for 21.8 million pounds. The team hopes to get a transfer fee of 22 million pounds from selling Smit and become the new top selling bid in team history.

The 19-year-old Smit, who is 1.85 meters tall, is a right-footed player who mainly plays the attacking midfielder position. His transfer valuation from Germany is 10 million euros. He has 2 goals and 4 assists in 19 games in all competitions this season. He is the new talented devil of the Netherlands and can be understood as the new Sneijder.
