Tottenham Hotspur has agreed a £52 million deal to sign Netherlands World Cup defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton & Hove Albion. Tottenham is one of the Premier League’s most crypto-forward clubs, operating the $SPURS fan token on the Chiliz blockchain.
What the deal looks like
Van Hecke, a Dutch center-back who represented the Netherlands at the World Cup, is set to leave Brighton after the two clubs reached agreement on the £52 million fee.
Brighton does not operate any fan token or crypto partnership. Tottenham sits on one side of the digital divide, with an active token ecosystem and a partnership with Socios.com, while Brighton has stayed away from the space entirely.
