Spurs agree deal to sign Van Hecke from Brighton

Tottenham have agreed a deal with Brighton to sign defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

The deal is believed to be around £52m and the player has expressed his desire to play under 'father figure' Roberto De Zerbi.

The centre-back only wanted to join Tottenham.

The Netherlands international defender has one year left on his contract at Brighton and worked at the south-coast club under De Zerbi between 2023-2024.
