Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix.
The 25-year-old central defender has done quite well since the move to the Premier League and he has been a key player for Palace. Other European clubs are keeping tabs on his situation as well, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done.
Tottenham have been keeping tabs on Lacroix for years.
According to a report via Hard Tackle, Tottenham are looking to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and the Frenchman is on their radar. He has been described as a “Rolls-Royce” defender.
Palace will not want to lose a key player like him anytime soon, and it will be difficult to convince the Eagles to sell him. There is no doubt that Lacroix has the quality to play for Tottenham. It would be a step up in his career, and the French defender could be attracted to the idea of joining Spurs.
They have an ambitious project and an exciting team. They have recently won a European trophy, and they are likely to be an attractive destination for players.
However, Palace are likely to lose Marc Guehi in the coming months and they will not want to lose two key defenders. It is highly unlikely that they will let the Frenchman leave the club anytime soon. Any move for Lacroix might have to wait for the foreseeable future.
The defender is at the top of his game right now and he is enjoying his football with Palace. They have managed to win the FA Cup and the Community Shield recently. They have been outstanding in the Premier League. He has no reason to force an exit from the club. Palace are in a strong position to keep him, and Tottenham are likely to fail with their pursuit.
