Hughes Set For Crystal Palace?

24th June 2007

It seems increasingly likely that Jeff Hughes has played his last game for that Lincoln City FC, after Crystal Palace admitted that talks were at an "advanced stage".

Palace Chairman Simon Jordon told today's Sunday Observer that: "We are in discussions with Lincoln and they are at an advanced stage. There is haggling involved in every deal."

Last week, Palace had an opening bid of £200,000 for Hughes rejected by Lincoln City, who want around £500,000 for the Northern Ireland international. Lincoln remain in a strong negotiation position as both Coventry City and Sheffield United have also been strongly linked with a bid for Hughes.
