Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Will Hughes from Watford.
The 26-year old has turned down the offer of a new contract at Vicarage Road and as a result has been left out of the first team plans. He has been training with the club's U23s.
Palace want a midfielder and two forwards to bolster Patrick Vieira's young squad.
Arsenal's Reiss Nelson, Ademola Lookman of Red Bull Leipzig and Manchester City's Morgan Rogers remain among their options.
Vieira has had a busy summer window to date at Selhurst Park as he looks to rebuild the side in his vision.
