"The Magpies see him as a key target as they look to strengthen their defense after cooling interest in Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi. The defender himself, as per the report, would be interested in a move to Eddie Howe's Newcastle United if they move ahead with their interest in signing him. The Dutchman is looking to join a club with the ambition of playing Champions League football. The Magpies can offer him that as they are currently a part of Europe's elite competition."
"At just 25 years old, van Hecke has developed into a mainstay in Brighton's backline, earning praise for his composure and consistency. His performances have not only improved Brighton's defensive stability but have also caught the notice of top-flight clubs looking to upgrade in central defense. With his contract at the Amex Stadium running until 2027, there is growing speculation that Brighton will attempt to negotiate a new deal."
Newcastle United are stepping up efforts to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion after cooling interest in Marc Guehi. Van Hecke would be interested in joining Newcastle if they pursue him, attracted by the club's Champions League status. At 25, he has become a Brighton defensive mainstay, praised for composure and consistency, and has improved the club's defensive stability. His contract runs until 2027, and Brighton may seek a new deal, but his market value has risen sharply. Newcastle view central defence as an area to strengthen and Brighton will demand significant compensation.
