🚨 Reports: mega deal done, top club lands World Cup star for €60m

After weeks of transfer speculation, the deal now apparently seems to be done. As transfer expert David Ornstein of 'The Athletic' and transfer insider Ben Jacobs are both reporting, Jan Paul van Hecke is moving from Brighton to Tottenham Hotspurs. 

According to the experts, the transfer fee will be around €60 million. Brighton had recently rejected Spurs’ lower bids. 

Tottenham coach De Zerbi already knows the Dutchman from their time together at the Seagulls and was determined to bring him to London. According to the experts, the deal had always been "only a matter of time." 

Van Hecke is a regular starter for the Netherlands at the World Cup. In the opening group match against Japan, the 26-year-old played the full 90 minutes. Now, his future also seems to be settled.
