Chelsea have completed the signing of France international defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace in a deal reportedly worth £52 million.
The 26-year-old has signed a six-year contract with the Blues and will join the squad for pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.
Speaking after the move, Lacroix expressed his excitement at joining Chelsea, describing the club as one with a rich winning tradition.
He said he shares the same ambition as manager Xabi Alonso and is eager to help the team compete for trophies.
