Chelsea have completed the signing of French defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace in a deal worth £51m.

Lacroix has finally completed his move to the Blues from London rivals Palace, where he scored four goals and grabbed four assists in 98 appearances across all competitions.

The 26-year-old arrives at Chelsea after signing a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

He becomes the latest signing behind Marco Palestra, Geovany Quenda, Morgan Rogers and Harrison Bettoni.

“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 told his club’s official website.

“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.”
