Crystal Palace have had a £5m offer for Watford midfielder Will Hughes rejected, according to The Sun (August 17, page 51), cited by CPFC Transfers HQ on Twitter.
And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the development on social media.
The 26-year-old is into the final 12 months of his Vicarage Road contract and has rejected a new five-year deal with the Hornets earlier this summer.
It is thought that the central midfielder’s representatives are actively looking at alternative options, with Hughes demoted to the club’s Under-23s last month.
The Eagles want a midfielder and two forwards between now and the end of the month to bolster Patrick Vieira’s squad, and it appears as if they have firmed up their interest in Hughes.
Palace have had an opening offer of £5m turned down but have no intention of increasing their bid, with the report claiming Watford are holding out for £12m.
