Brighton defender Van Hecke: I must do well against Ajax

Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke admits that eyes will be on him tonight.

The defender is one of three Dutch stars within the Albion's team, who are preparing to take on Ajax in the Europa League.

Bart Verbruggen and Joel Veltman are the other Netherlands talents who will be on show for the away side on Thursday.

Asked about playing in Amsterdam, Van Hecke told local reporters: I think that people in the Netherlands do watch the Premier League, but perhaps less focused on one player.

If you show it in the Netherlands against Ajax in the Europa League, it will of course be extra noticeable, if you do it well.

It went well two weeks ago. If it goes well again tomorrow, I think it will be good for me."
