Blackburn Rovers favourite Jan Paul van Hecke has completed a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur. Van Hecke spent the 2021/22 season on loan at Ewood Park, winning Player of the Season after a brilliant campaign.

He then returned to parent club Brighton & Hove Albion, establishing himself as a Premier League player. He started 36 of the Seagulls' 38 top-flight games last term, with his performances catching the eye.
