"I think it'll be difficult for Newcastle to try and land a player like Smit in the summer. Obviously, he's a player that has attracted interest from a number of top clubs across Europe with the form that he's shown at AZ this season."
"Newcastle obviously, if they're not able to offer Champions League football to potential transfer targets like Smit, it will harm their chances of signing him."
Newcastle United is unlikely to sign Dutch midfielder Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar during the summer transfer window. Interest in Smit has surged from top clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool, and Arsenal due to his impressive form. Newcastle's current position in the Premier League, sitting 12th with 42 points, hampers their ability to attract players who seek Champions League football. The team will face Crystal Palace in their next match after the international break.
