Tottenham is preparing a third bid for Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke, according to journalist Ben Jacobs. This move underscores Spurs' aggressive strategy in the summer transfer market, aiming to steer clear of another relegation battle after narrowly avoiding it last season.
Tottenham secured their Premier League status with a crucial 1-0 victory over Everton, finishing just two points above relegated West Ham. The club has already confirmed the free transfer of Andy Robertson from Liverpool and the signing of Marcos Senesi, marking a proactive approach to strengthen their squad.
Dutch reporter Joost Blaauwhof reveals that Van Hecke has agreed on personal terms with Tottenham and is no longer in talks with any other clubs. He is now awaiting an agreement between Brighton and Spurs. Jacobs notes that Van Hecke has a year left on his contract and is eager to join Tottenham, fostering optimism for a potential agreement.
Additionally, former Manchester United scout Mick Brown suggests that Tottenham might pursue another Brighton player, Carlos Baleba, as opportunities arise in the transfer market. Brown emphasizes that a move to Tottenham could reignite Baleba's career, given his prior relationship with manager Roberto De Zerbi.
