Jan Paul van Hecke, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton, Roberto De Zerbi
4 June 2026
Tottenham submitted an opening bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke as Roberto De Zerbi targets a reunion. The offer is below Brighton’s £70 million valuation, but talks remain ongoing between the two clubs.
De Zerbi worked with Van Hecke at Brighton and wants defenders who already understand his style. The player has two years left on his deal and has not committed to an extension, giving Spurs a possible opening.
