Jan Paul van Hecke

As of April 2026, reports cited a market value of €35 million. In December 2025, Tottenham were reportedly preparing a £40 million (~€45.7 million) bid for the player for a 2026 transfer. In September 2025, Brighton's asking price was reportedly around €51 million, while other reports estimated his value at €41.9 million and Transfermarkt listed it at €32 million. Earlier, in June 2025, his value was cited by Transfermarkt as being over €30 million.

Our valuation is driven by multiple reports of a potential £40 million (~€46 million) bid from Tottenham, contrasted with Brighton's earlier reported asking price of around €51 million. With Jan Paul van Hecke reportedly deciding to leave and entering the final year of his contract in summer 2026, Brighton's negotiating position is weakened. However, widespread interest from other top Premier League clubs should keep the fee substantial, leading to our estimate.
