Lacroix, who won the FA Cup and Conference League with Palace and made 55 appearances last season, has been Chelsea's primary defensive target this summer. Chelsea are seeking to bolster their back line with experienced players following a 10th-place finish last season and a shift in recruitment policy away from young, inexperienced talent. This transfer would mark Chelsea's fifth signing of the window, having already secured Morgan Rogers, Marco Palestra, Emmanuel Emegha and Geovany Quenda.
