Liverpool Eyeing Jan Paul van Hecke for Potential Recruitment
The summer transfer window of 2022 saw no movement for Dutch center-back Jan Paul van Hecke, with no confirmed deals to Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, or Newcastle United. However, fast forward to 2025, and the situation has changed dramatically.
Van Hecke, a 25-year-old Netherlands international, has refused to renew his contract with Brighton & Hove Albion, his club since 2020. The defender, who had outstanding performances last season, is aiming for a move to a club playing Champions League football.
Both Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly shown interest, with Newcastle making an approach recently. Brighton values Van Hecke at about €50 million and is open to offers, but he has not forced a transfer yet and remains professional.
Despite the interest from these clubs, Liverpool has not been linked with a move for Van Hecke during the 2022 or subsequent windows. His 2022-23 season was spent consolidating his role at Brighton after loan spells, and there is no mention of transfer activity linked to Liverpool, Tottenham, or Newcastle in that period.
As we approach the summer of 2027, when Van Hecke's contract with Brighton expires, it remains to be seen where his future lies. His current contract situation may affect his potential transfer to another club, but one thing is certain: Van Hecke is a player to keep an eye on.
