Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Will Hughes from Watford.

Eagles boss Patrick Vieira all but confirmed the move on Friday in his pre-match press conference ahead of their trip to West Ham and the deal was officially announced on Saturday afternoon.

Hughes, who only had one year remaining on his contract with Watford, has signed a deal until the summer of 2024 and moves for a fee reported to be worth an initial £6million.

After making the switch, the midfielder told Palace TV: “Fans want to see players give 100 per cent and that’s the minimum I’ll give. That’s what they can expect.

“The club 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.”

After his move was essentially confirmed by Vieira yesterday, Watford head coach Xisco Munoz said he wished his former player "all the best" at his new club.

"All I can say about Will is I wish all the best for him," said Munoz.

"He's a very good person, a very good player. I wish all the best for him."
