Someone asked whether today’s Jan Paul van Hecke piece would be about a new contract. Well he is certainly pledging his future! The Albion centre-back sees reasons why they won’t be the bridesmaids in next season’s race for Europe. #bhafc https://t.co/2EOge56LaU

Having read a report of the Ayari interview, he had 5-6 chances to say he wanted to leave Brighton and batted them away. He said it's a fantastic club and he's happy where he is. But, yes, he also spoke about his career ambitions. #bhafc https://t.co/kX5YP0QPHR
