Why I Love FM – Jan Paul Van Hecke

Interviews | FM Admin | 16.10.25

The 2023/24 season was a breakthrough one for Brighton & Hove Albion defender Jan Paul van Hecke.

The impressive 23-year-old became a regular starter for Roberto De Zerbi and his performances were recognised with a big Current Ability upgrade in the FM24 Main Data Update.

The Dutchman is also a big fan of Football Manager. We recently caught up with Jan Paul at Brighton’s training ground to discuss his love of the game, his best save, and his FM24 star signing.
