The 2025 summer transfer window was a record-breaker, with Premier League clubs spending a staggering £3 billion. Chelsea FC was no exception, with the team securing a B-grade signing of France defender Maxence Lacroix. The 32-year-old has played in a back four for Wolfsburg and his country, and a back three for Crystal Palace. He'll fit whatever new Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso decides to do. Chelsea FC's recent form and league standing are a concern, with 33 points behind leaders Arsenal. The team has struggled with a low average age and a terrible disciplinary record. Lacroix's arrival could help address these issues, but the team's overall performance will depend on how well he integrates into the squad.
