The Reds parted ways with Curtis Jones over the summer, but they didn't find a suitable replacement before the transfer deadline. They are expected to address the issue at the start of the year, and Smit is one of the top players on their radar, as per Teamtalk.

The youngster has been a long-term target for the Reds and was first linked when Arne Slot was the manager of the Anfield club. Kees has played as an attacking midfielder for AZ this campaign, but he can also operate from the number eight and number six roles.
