Tottenham have added another piece to their defensive rebuild. According to The Athletic, the London club have signed Brighton centre-back Van Hecke for €60 million, formally completing the deal for the defender.
During his time at Brighton, Van Hecke stood out for his physical strength, aerial dominance and defensive discipline, delivering consistent performances in the Premier League. That form put him on the radar of several of Europe's biggest clubs, but Tottenham moved ahead of their rivals to wrap up the transfer quickly.
The €60 million fee is seen as a clear sign of Tottenham's decision to place their defence at the heart of their long-term plans. The move is described as the crowning piece of the club's recent investment in their backline.
With Van Hecke's arrival, Tottenham gain both depth and competition in their centre-back rotation. The coaching staff are said to have earmarked the defender for an important role at the heart of the defence. The transfer is being highlighted as a crucial step towards the team's goals for next season.
