Brighton Reject Tottenham Second Bid For Van Hecke Amid £70m Valuation
Brighton & Hove Albion have turned down a second offer from Tottenham Hotspur for Dutch defender Jan Paul van Hecke during the current summer transfer window, as the club maintains its firm stance on either keeping the player or meeting its financial demands.
Brighton Hold Firm On Valuation
According to Sky Sports Brighton are not willing to consider selling Van Hecke for less than £70 million with the club setting this figure as a non negotiable benchmark for any potential departure this summer.
The Premier League side continues to regard the defender as an important part of its long term project and is under no pressure to sanction a sale.
Tottenham’s Bid Rejected
Tottenham had previously submitted a formal offer for the Netherlands international as reported by The Telegraph but negotiations have failed to progress following Brighton’s rejection of the proposal.
The London club is still searching for defensive reinforcements but faces a significant financial gap to bridge if it wants to reopen talks.
Uncertain Next Steps
With Brighton’s valuation remaining unchanged any future movement in the deal is expected to depend on whether Tottenham are willing to meet the asking price or shift attention to alternative targets in the market.
