Twente’s 25-year-old left-back Gijs Smal is being linked with Benfica and the latest news indicates he could be an alternative to AZ Alkmaar left-back Kerkez.
Information from the Netherlands reveals that the Reds are attracted to the player ranked 5th in the Eredivisie, who has one more year on his contract, but has been insistently pointed out as a player of interest for the most important leagues, given the quality of the season that produced (44 games, 2 goals, 11 assists).
Smal, it should be noted, is 1.83 meters tall and can also play roles in the defensive axis, being equally well known by Roger Schmidt, who he faced when the Benfica coach occupied PSV’s technical leadership.
Kerkez, the Hungarian international, was defined as a priority target for the reds, Roger Schmidt’s number 1 wish, but there is still no agreement to head to Luz and Smal could be an alternative, being valued at approximately €6 million, according to information from the Countries Basses.
