Tottenham Hotspur signs Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton in a £52 million deal.
Tottenham Hotspur signed Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion in a £52 million deal, confirmed by the BBC, Associated Press, and The Independent. The transfer is part of a fast-moving Spurs rebuild, and football outlets across the UK and Europe covered it within hours.
Van Hecke is expected to join Tottenham's defensive line immediately, with his first pre-season appearance likely to draw attention. Brighton, meanwhile, may step up their search for a replacement as the summer window continues, keeping the story alive if either club moves again.
