Tottenham Hotspur are wasting no time in bolstering Roberto De Zerbi's squad
Brighton defender Jan Paul ven Hecke has reportedly 'made his mind up' and wants to move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer after Spurs saw a bid rejected by the Seagulls last week.
Dutch media outlet VI News claims the Dutch international is keen on a reunion with Roberto De Zerbi in north London, after 'two bids' were rejected.
It's claimed Spurs face competition from Liverpool, Chelsea and Newcastle United, but the Lilywhites look set to win the race, if an agreement can be struck between the two clubs.
The report says Van Hecke was enthused by talks with his former Seagulls boss, De Zerbi, and personal terms with Spurs would be 'a piece of cake.'
It adds that Spurs are working to get the deal over the line in order for the defender to focus on the World Cup this summer.

If Spurs are able to strike a deal before the World Cup, Van Hecke could be their third signing of the summer after agreeing deals to sign former Liverpool defender Andy Robertson and ex-Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi.
The latter is yet to be formally announced, but it's widely expected the Argentinian defender will be wearing a Spurs strip next season.
It's claimed Senesi completed his medical in north London on Saturday and signed a four-year deal before jetting off on holiday.
Senesi could soon be jetting off to the World Cup as a late replacement for Leonardo Balerdi who sustained an injury ahead of the tournament.
The defender is one of the names being tipped to join Lionel Scaloni's side in the United States, along with Marcos Acuna, Nicolas Capaldo, Agustin Giay, Kevin Mac Allister and Martinez Quarta.
His omission from the original squad came as a surprise after an impressive campaign for Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth.
It's unclear whether a call-up to the World Cup squad will impact any move to Spurs, but if reports are to be believed, it seems somewhat of a formality.
