Crystal Palace in talks to sign 26-year-old Newcastle target – Report
Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Will Hughes from Watford this summer, according to the Daily Mail. The Eagles, who lost 3-0 against Chelsea in the opening day fixture, are showing strong interest in signing Hughes, and they hope to beat Newcastle United in the race. According to The Sun, Newcastle are undecided whether to move for the 26-year-old following the capture of Joe Willock from Arsenal.

If they miss out on Hughes, the club will turn their attention towards Lewis O’Brien, who has also been targeted by Leeds. Hughes, who joined Watford in 2017, has turned down a new contract at Vicarage Road. He has been left out of the first team plans for this season and has been trainin...
‘Go all out for JWP’ – Some Villa fans react after being linked with ‘outstanding player’
Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Will Hughes. According to reports from The Express, Villa are keen to sign the Watford midfielder this summer. Dean Smith is looking to bolster his midfield options, with Villa registering an interest in signing James Ward-Prowse early this summer. With Southampton refusing to wilt under pressure, it seems Villa have turned their attention towards signing the former Derby County midfielder. Hughes joined the Hornets from Derby County back in 2017 for around £8 million and played a key role last season as the club secured promotion. Many Villa fans appreciate that Hughes is a good player, but they feel he is not the one who can take the club to the next level. Smith has stressed...
‘Car crash recruitment strategy’ – Some NUFC fans react to transfer links with 26-yr-old
Newcastle United have been linked with a move for the Watford midfielder Will Hughes. According to Alan Nixon from the Sun, the Hornets are keen on signing Isaac Hayden in a swap deal. Hayden has been one of Newcastle’s best players this past season and letting him leave could prove to be a big mistake. There is no doubt that they need to add more depth and quality in the central midfield, but they cannot afford to lose one of their best central midfielders. Steve Bruce will have to find upgrades on the likes of Jeff Hendrick and Jonjo Shelvey this summer. Hughes could prove to be a useful addition for Newcastle. The 26-year-old central midfielder scored twice in the Championship last year and he can play in multiple roles across the midfield. The Watford ace can operate in an advanced pos...
