Chelsea, Maxence Lacroix and Trevoh Chalobah.
During Chelsea’s defensive rebuild.
Chelsea are preparing to step up their pursuit of Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix as they rebuild under Xabi Alonso. The move comes as Como show interest in Trevoh Chalobah, who is open to a Serie A switch.
Chelsea have sold Marc Cucurella and are closing on Marco Palestra, but centre-back remains the next priority. Palace want to keep Lacroix and offer him a new contract, though Chelsea are expected to test their stance.
