Jan Paul van Hecke is already close to agreeing personal terms with Tottenham Hotspur following the North London club’s opening offer.
Spurs are now in talks with Brighton over a deal for the defender, and the Lilywhites seem to be pushing hard to get the deal done quickly.
👀With 12 months left on his contract, how much should we pay at the most to sign the £70m-rated Jan Paul van Hecke?
Tottenham are looking to sign another top-level centre back, having already agreed a deal to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer, and Cristian Romero is set to leave.
The North London club are certainly not wasting any time in getting in new players for Roberto De Zerbi, with work now ongoing to make their third signing already.
Tottenham close to agreeing personal terms for Jan Paul van Hecke
Jan Paul van Hecke is ready to leave Brighton and make the next step in his career, according to VL.
Tottenham have made a serious offer for Van Hecke and are now working to get the deal done ahead of the World Cup.
The 25-year-old is part of the Netherlands’ squad travelling to North America this summer, and he will be playing alongside Micky van de Ven.
Van Hecke could end up pairing Van de Ven in defence for Tottenham, especially with Romero expected to leave later this summer.
Spurs are also deciding what to do with Luka Vuskovic, who will return from his very successful loan spell in the Bundesliga this summer.
🔮 You predict: Where will Tottenham defender Luka Vuskovic be playing next season?
People close to Vuskovic suggest he is not yet ready, suggesting another loan could be in order and why Spurs are looking to bring in the Dutch defender.
Roberto De Zerbi is keen for Tottenham to sign Jan Paul van Hecke
Tottenham are now in talks with Brighton to find an agreement over the transfers, and Roberto De Zerbi is very keen for the deal to get done.
De Zerbi worked with the Brighton defender during their time together on the South Coast, and he now views him as a key part of Spurs’ rebuild.
De Zerbi also looks close to signing Senesi, Andy Robertson and Savinho, with Spurs wasting little time in backing their new manager.
