Chelsea have signed centre-back Maxence Lacroix from fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace.
The France international has signed a contract that runs until the end of the 2031-32 season.
Lacroix is Chelsea’s sixth signing of the summer alongside Morgan Rogers, Marco Palestra, Emmanuel Emegha, Dastan Satpaev, Denner and Geovany Quenda.
“I am really happy to be part of this beautiful club. Everyone knows the legend of Chelsea, its tradition of winning, and to be a part of that is a proud moment,” Lacroix said in a statement.
“When I spoke with the manager, I saw that we have the same direction and desire for this club.
“We want to win. When you see the quality of the players here, everything we have around the club, it’s something that we can achieve. The ambition is to lift trophies, and I can’t wait to contribute.”
