Kees Smit to Chelsea? This is exactly the kind of move Blues should be making

Let’s face it: Chelsea’s transfer strategy under new ownership has been a rollercoaster. Some hits, some misses, lots of discussion. But the idea of ​​the club targeting AZ Alkmaar’s Kees Smit honestly feels like one of the smartest rumors we’ve seen in a while. And if Fichajes.net’s report is true, Chelsea could be on to something here.

This is the type of signature that fits the vision

CHELSEA clearly building for the future. People complain about it, but if we go by the youth development model, Smit is exactly the kind of player who should be on the radar. He is technically polished, incredibly composed and looks like the kind of midfielder who could thrive in a possession-based system.

Some fans only want big names, but that’s not how football works anymore. Clubs that sign smart, early and strategically are the ones that dominate in the long term. Just look at how Brighton & Hove Albion works.

A player who actually fits what we need

Chelsea’s midfield – despite major investments – still feels like a puzzle with a few pieces missing. Smit fits into one of those pieces: a young, pressure-resistant controller who is not afraid to dictate the game. That’s something we’ve missed since the days of Cesc Fàbregas.

He wouldn’t walk straight into the starting XI, nor should he. But that’s the point. Chelsea needs long-term, layered development. Let him grow, adapt and ultimately compete for a spot.

Stamford Bridge is the perfect stage

Picture this: a calm, stylish Dutch midfielder walking onto Stamford Bridge, surrounded by one of Europe’s most exciting young squads? Yes, that’s the kind of long-game move that could quietly become a masterstroke.

The risk is worth it

Every young recruit comes with risks. But the bigger risk is not taking advantage of these opportunities while other top clubs are scouting the same players. CHELSEA have missed enough generational talents in the past – let’s not make the same mistake again.

Final verdict: go for it

If Chelsea really pushes for Kees Smit, the fanbase should be excited. This is a progressive move that reflects a long-term project rather than a quick fix.

In a few years’ time, Blues fans may look back and say: “That was one of the smartest transfers we made.”
