Chelsea have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace to sign defender Maxence Lacroix in a major move to strengthen their defence.
The two Premier League clubs have concluded negotiations over a deal for the France international, with personal terms not expected to be a problem.
As reported by BBC Sport on Friday. Lacroix is set to undergo a medical before completing his move to Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old centre-back is expected to sign a long-term contract, with the agreement understood to run until 2032.
Chelsea’s move for Lacroix comes after two impressive seasons at Crystal Palace, where he established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable defenders.
He played a key role under Oliver Glasner, helping Palace secure the UEFA Conference League title and enjoy strong domestic campaigns.
