Last month, Jan Paul van Hecke revealed Brighton & Hove Albion have exercised the option to extend his deal until 2024 and that he was in talks with the Premier League side over a new contract.
The centre-back made 13 appearances last season, four of which came in the last four league games. He has also received interest from other clubs, including newly promoted Premier League side Luton Town.
That’s according to Voetbal International, who state Luton Town and various other clubs will miss out on the 23-year-old because he ‘will extend’ his contract at Brighton.
Jan Paul van Hecke has the full confidence of his manager, who ‘convinces’ about a ‘long stay’ at The Amex. His chances of featuring regularly next season will improve as Brighton have qualified for the Europa League.
These factors have convinced the player to commit his future to the Premier League side.
The report adds Jan Paul van Hecke’s new contract will be until 2025 and the agreement will be ‘concluded soon’.
