Crystal Palace has lined up Trabzonspor center-back Chibuike Nwaiwu as a potential replacement for Maxence Lacroix, who is expected to move to Chelsea.
The deal for Lacroix is reportedly set to be completed for €60 million ($68.31 million), with the defender expected to undergo medical examinations shortly before signing his contract with the London club.
According to The Athletic, Crystal Palace is interested in bringing in Nwaiwu, a 23-year-old Nigerian defender currently playing for Trabzonspor, a football club based in Türkiye.
The Premier League side is expected to step up its efforts to sign Nwaiwu in the coming days as it prepares for Lacroix's anticipated departure.
