Chelsea are finalising a move for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix, with a medical scheduled for today.
Lacroix had indicated his desire to leave Selhurst Park after last season, prompting the club to act swiftly to secure his services.
Negotiations progressed quickly over the past week, and the player is set to join in a £52 million transfer.
A final medical is expected on Friday, with official confirmation to follow.
