Maxence Lacroix has been linked with the move away from Crystal Palace at the end of the season.
Multiple Premier League clubs are keen on the 26-year-old French International defender, and Tottenham Hotspur are hoping to secure as well. They have been monitoring his performances, and they could use a quality defender like him.
Maxence Lacroix to replace Romero?
Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club, and they will need to replace the South American in the summer. Signing the Crystal Palace star would be a wise decision. He is well settled in the Premier League and consistently performing at a high level.
He has also been selected for the upcoming World Cup with the French national team. Apart from being a quality defender, he has outstanding recovery pace, and he could be the ideal partner for Micky van de Ven.
The French international once claimed that he could beat the Tottenham defender in a race.
According to a report from Team Talk, he could cost around £50 million. Tottenham certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and the proceeds from Romero’s departure will help as well.
It remains to be seen whether the 26-year-old central defender is open to joining Tottenham. Even though they are fighting relegation this season, they have an ambitious project and quality players. They could bounce back strongly next season. They have appointed a talented manager like Roberto De Zerbi.
Spurs could use Lacroix
Tottenham have been quite poor defensively, and they need to improve at the back. Signing the 26-year-old will certainly help them tighten up defensively.
The player is well settled in England, and he could make an immediate impact at Tottenham if he joins the club. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can fend off the competition from other Premier League clubs and get the deal done.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace is not interested in selling the player and is looking to offer him a new contract.
