Maxence Lacroix says he has joined “the best club in the world” after completing his move to Chelsea from Crystal Palace.
The 26-year-old has signed a deal until 2032, with Chelsea paying a fee of around £52m to sign the Frenchman.
“I think it’s the best move for me because it’s the best club in the world,” Lacroix said.
“I spoke with Malo. I spoke with Trev [Chalobah]. I spoke with Benoit [Badiashile]. It’s easy for people to speak well about this club because it has a lot of big history and I’m really proud to be a part of it now.
“I spoke with the manager on the phone. We spoke about tactics, we spoke about how he sees the game. First of all, I was happy just to speak about football with him, and I saw that we have the same direction and desire for this club.
