Jan Paul van Hecke not interested in renewing contract at Brighton amid Chelsea interest

 It was recently reported that Brighton could let Van Hecke go for £50m, with the 25-year-old leaving them with no choice but to consider a sale.

Van Hecke’s contract expires in 2027, and he has so far turned down every offer of a contract extension that the Seagulls have offered him, according to journalist Sebastien Vidal.

Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are all in the mix for his signature, claims Vidal.

However, Spurs will have absolutely zero chance of landing him if they go on to get relegated, which looks like a strong possibility right now.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side are currently in the relegation zone and have some hard fixtures remaining, including a trip to Stamford Bridge to face their fierce London rivals Chelsea.
