The 26-year-old is currently training💫 with the Under-23 side, as he’s refusing to sign a new contract at Vicarage Road.

ꦕ claim that Patrick Vieira’s side are the most advanced in their pursuit of the maestro.

🅷However, the Eagles refuse to increase their £5m bid, which could allow Burnley to steal in – the Clarets have made their own proposal to Hughes.

Newcastle are considering a bid.

🅠We appreciate that nobody wants to break the bank for a player with just months remaining on his contract, but Hughes is worth it.

ꦫIf Crystal Palace, Newcastle or Burnley can land the silky playmaker for under £10m, it would be a bargain in today’s market.

𒁏Hughes is in his prime at 26, and can boast plenty of top-flight experience with Premier League appearances to his name.

𓃲He’s also someone who we feel could break into the England squad soon.
