Lacroix Takes No. 23 Shirt at Chelsea as Chalobah Moves
Maxence Lacroix has officially joined Chelsea and will wear the club's No. 23 shirt. This jersey became available following Trevoh Chalobah's impending transfer to the Italian side Como.
Chalobah, who previously wore the No. 23 shirt, is close to finalizing his move to Serie A, which allows Lacroix to inherit the number. Fabrizio Romano reported on X that Lacroix's acquisition is expected to bolster Chelsea's defensive options, as he has established himself as a reliable centre-back during his tenure at Crystal Palace.
The transfer marks a significant step for both players, with Lacroix beginning his career at Chelsea and Chalobah moving to a new league.
