Will Hughes makes honest Patrick Vieira admission and sends message to former club Derby

Will Hughes says he is loving his time at Crystal Palace so far and that he's benefitting greatly from the tutelage of midfield legend Patrick Vieira.

The 26-year-old arrived at Selhurst Park over the summer and had to wait patiently before making his mark on the team, forcing his way into the starting XI at the end of 2021 and staying put since.

Hughes said that Vieira, who was recently nominated for Manager of the Year at the London Football Awards, had helped him understand his position in midfield better and that it had been a 'pleasure' taking advice from one of the game's all-time greats.
