Crystal Palace are poised to agree a deal with Watford for midfielder Will Hughes, according to The Sun’s Alan Nixon.
And, as to be expected, a number of Eagles supporters have been reacting to the news on social media.
Palace want to bring in a midfielder and two forwards before the end of the month, and it seems as if Hughes could be the midfield addition.
Nixon posted a story on Sunday, claiming Palace have now tabled a bid worth £7m plus add-ons for the 26-year-old.
Personal terms for Hughes at around £60,000-a-week shouldn’t be an issue in regards to a transfer, with Palace prioritising the Hornets man over Huddersfield Town’s Lewis O’Brien.
Hughes has turned down a new contract at Vicarage Road, and it appears as if a deal that could rise to £10m could go through.
Palace fans react
@cpfc_xtra shared The Sun’s report on Hughes on Sunday lunchtime. This is what these Palace fans had to say in reply, with one labelling it as ‘embarrassing’.
“Embarrassing negotiations tbh, Dougie's first L”
“No thanks”
“hope this is a genuinely false article by the sun. no thanks.”
“Upgrade on McCarthy and dare I say McArthur! This would be a very good signing.”
“60000 a week ”
“Unless someone is on the way out not sure why this is being done before a winger, striker, and LB”
