Crystal Palace accelerates pursuit of Chrislain Matsima as Maxence Lacroix nears Chelsea move
Crystal Palace is accelerating efforts to sign 24-year-old central defender Chrislain Matsima from Bundesliga club Augsburg, as current defender Maxence Lacroix is set to join Chelsea. According to Foot Mercato, discussions between the two clubs have intensified and are progressing positively. Matsima, who was trained at Monaco (which holds 15% of any future capital gain), has already verbally agreed to personal terms with Crystal Palace. The London club, managed by Pierre Sage, is moving quickly to secure the succession for Lacroix. The transfer is reportedly moving in the right direction for the Eagles.
