Former Chelsea assistant coach Jody Morris has expressed skepticism regarding the club’s interest in defender Maxence Lacroix. Reports indicate that Chelsea is prepared to pay approximately £52 million to sign the Crystal Palace player to a six-year deal.
Morris remains unconvinced by the Frenchman’s potential impact at Stamford Bridge, pointing to his underwhelming performance during the World Cup. Speaking to Boyle Sports, the former coach noted that he has only observed Lacroix in a back-three formation and is curious how he would handle a four-man defense.
Specifically highlighting a lackluster showing against Spain and a defensive collapse against England where six goals were conceded, Morris questioned the defender’s consistency. He concluded by stating that if the transfer proceeds, he sincerely hopes the player’s future performances improve significantly from those recent displays.
