Chelsea have given new signing Maxence Lacroix the No. 23 shirt as the club continues to reshape its squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
The French defender recently joined the Blues and is expected to strengthen Chelsea’s backline under manager Xabi Alonso. The announcement of his squad number signals that he is ready to begin his new chapter at Stamford Bridge.
At the same time, Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is closing in on a transfer to Italian club Como. Reports suggest that talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, with the deal expected to be completed soon.
Chalobah, who came through Chelsea’s academy, has spent several years with the first team. During his time at the club, he made important contributions in both domestic and European competitions. However, with competition for places increasing, the defender now appears ready for a fresh challenge in Serie A.
For Lacroix, the move to Chelsea represents a major step in his career. The 26-year-old has built a reputation as a strong and reliable center-back, and the club hopes he will bring stability and experience to the defense.
Chelsea have been one of the busiest clubs in the transfer market this summer, adding new players while allowing others to leave as part of the team’s rebuilding process.
Manager Xabi Alonso is aiming to build a balanced squad capable of competing for trophies in England and Europe. The arrival of Lacroix and the likely departure of Chalobah are seen as part of that long-term plan.
Chelsea supporters will now be waiting for official confirmation of Chalobah’s move to Como while looking forward to seeing Lacroix make his debut in the famous blue shirt.
With the new season fast approaching, the Blues hope their latest squad changes will help them make a strong start and challenge for success across all competitions.
