Jan Paul van Hecke: Tottenham in talks with Brighton over defender and also could make move for Man City winger Savinho

Brighton have rejected a second bid from Tottenham for centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke, according to Seagulls chief executive Paul Barber.

The Netherlands international defender has one year left on his contract at Brighton and worked at the south-coast club under current Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi.

Brighton signed Van Hecke from NAC Breda for an initial fee of £1.8m in 2020.
