Crystal Palace have signed 26-year-old midfielder Will Hughes from Watford on a three-year deal.
Hughes arrives in south London as the sixth signing under Patrick Vieira.
The midfielder has represented England at Under-17 and Under-21 level – becoming the second-youngest player to feature for the latter.
Discussing the signing, chairman Steve Parish said: “Will has an abundance of talent and has shown it from a young age. He joins us with a wealth of experience but with years of football still ahead of him, and we hope he will greatly add to the quality of our midfield."
Speaking with Palace TV, Hughes said: “Fans want to see players give 100% and that's the minimum I'll give. That's what they can expect… [Palace 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."
