EPL: Great player, smart signing – Gary Cahill reacts to Chelsea’s latest recruit

Former Chelsea defender, Gary Cahill, has reacted to the club’s latest recruit, Maxence Lacroix.

Cahill described the France international as a great player, adding that his move to Stamford Bridge was a smart signing by the Blues.

On Thursday, Chelsea signed Lacroix from Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The French defender signed a deal that will see him remain at Chelsea until 2032.

“He is a great player, and it’s a really smart signing,” Cahill said of Lacroix via Chelsea’s website.

“I think he’s at a great age now as well, and he’s had that experience of playing regularly in the Premier League. He’s obviously been involved at the World Cup with the French national team.”
