Crystal Palace confirm trio sign new deals and duo are in contract talks

Crystal Palace have confirmed that Will Hughes, Jeffrey Schlupp and Joel Ward have all triggered new deals for the 2024-25 season.

The Eagles have also confirmed that they are in talks with Nathaniel Clyne and Remi Matthews over new deals at Selhurst Park.

Our paper reported last week that Ward and Hughes had both penned extensions at SE25.

The trio – who have made a combined 672 Palace appearances between them (Hughes 82, Schlupp 230 and Ward 360) – have all extended their deals with the club until the summer of 2025.

Schlupp has scored 22 goals in 267 appearances for Palace since joining from Leicester City in January 2017 for £12million.

Ward will head into his 13th campaign as a Palace player having joined the club from Portsmouth in 2012.

The 34-year-old right-back is the club captain and featured 25 times in the Premier League this season.

Hughes, 29, joined from Watford under Patrick Vieira but has become a key player under Glasner alongside Adam Wharton in the centre of the pitch.

Chairman Steve Parish said of the extensions: “In any Premier League squad, it remains vitally important to strike the right balance between youth and experience, with a squad of players all capable of driving the club forwards on and off the pitch.

“As well as playing a pivotal role on the pitch, Will, Jeff and Joel are natural leaders in the dressing room who embody the Crystal Palace DNA and who help set a culture of the highest standards at the training ground. We are delighted that they will be with us next season to help further our exciting early progress under Oliver Glasner.”
