Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi is delighted with the progress of Jan Paul van Hecke.
De Zerbi has likened the young stopper to captain Lewis Dunk.
JP van Hecke," Roberto said. JP is already a leader. Billy Gilmour [as well]. The improvement of Gilmour is incredible. I completely love him because now he is playing very much like a leader on the pitch - big quality, big attitude, big player.
I would like Facundo to observe Adam Lallana because he can be [like him]. They're different in terms of characteristics, but the position is very close.
"Facundo can be important now and in the future."
