Brighton & Hove Albion manager Chris Hughton is taking Dutch goalkeeper Guy Smit on trial, according to de Gerderlander in Holland.
The promising 20-year-old goalkeeper has earned an internship from NEC Nijmegen with a view of a permanent move.
Brighton and Hove Albion have an extensive scouting network in Netherlands which has seen the likes of Elvis Manu join the club from Feyenoord, and Smit could be the next Dutchman to join the club.
The arrival of Smit could be as an understudy for David Stockdale, but more likely he would feature for Brighton’s developmental squad, which would allow manager Hughton to assess him over a longer period of time.
Smit has featured seven times in the Beloften Eredivisie, and has been NEC Nijmegen’s reserve goalkeeper for the vast majority of the season.
The young goalkeeper is one of the brightest talents in Dutch football, and the internship is an opportunity for Smit to prove his worth and potentially secure a move.
