From the source
Tottenham Hotspur might not be at the top of the Premier League standings, but according to SofaScore, they have the league’s best player. Jan Paul van Hecke has been an ever-present for Tottenham Hotspur since his summer transfer from Brighton and Hove Albion, with no Spurs outfield player having played more minutes than the Dutchman.
Not only has the centre-back logged the most minutes, but he has arguably been one of Tottenham’s best players this season. Van Hecke has scored two goals this campaign, the most of any player in Lilywhite.
He ranks second for distance covered and expected goals at Spurs, first for accurate passes per 90, and also tops the chart for most line-breaking passes per game.
