Transfer interest is building around Jan Paul van Hecke, with Tottenham understood to be weighing-up a move for the Brighton defender. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Newcastle and Liverpool may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Tottenham's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.67 goals per game (4 in 6). Jan Paul van Hecke would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Brighton are said to be exploring Joe Gomez with Tottenham likewise connected to Malick Fofana, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Benjamin Pavard. Need more Tottenham transfer rumours?
