Crystal Palace have secured the signing of Watford midfielder Will Hughes.

The Surrey born 26-year-old has signed a 3 year deal, and is Patrick Vierra's sixth signing of the summer.

Hughes is a former England Under-21 player, who played alongside Wilfried Zaha.

The former Watford player, who started his career at Derby County, was delighted to get the deal over the line: "Fans want to see players give 100% and that’s the minimum I’ll give. That’s what they can expect… [Palace are] planning for the future and it’s exciting times ahead. They’re not just planning for the here and now, which is obviously important, but they’ve got a big project going on here so it’s exciting to be part of it."

Palace co-chairman Steve Parish told cpfc.co.uk: "Will has an abundance of talent and has shown it from a young age. He joins us with a wealth of experience but with years of football still ahead of him, and we hope he will greatly add to the quality of our midfield."
