Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Maxence Lacroix
Monday
Chelsea have stepped up their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix after a fresh round of positive talks. Palace value the France centre-back at a minimum of £60m and want to keep him.
Lacroix is open to a new challenge after 98 Palace appearances since joining from Wolfsburg. Chelsea want more Premier League-ready players, while any successful move would place Trevoh Chalobah’s future under further scrutiny.
