Chelsea are expected to complete the signing of Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix for a fee of £52m in the coming days. The 26-year-old defender has spent the last two years at Crystal Palace prior to this potential move.
Jody Morris has publicly questioned the acquisition, stating that he did not believe the player performed well for France. Morris specifically highlighted a poor showing against Spain and a match against England in which the French side conceded six goals.
Beyond his international displays, Morris expressed concern regarding the defender's ability to adapt his game. He noted potential difficulties in transitioning from the back-three system utilized at Crystal Palace to the back-four formation currently employed at Chelsea.
