“Maxence Lacroix is poised to play his final match at Selhurst Park this afternoon against Arsenal,” Hawkins tweeted. “A transfer for the Crystal Palace center-back is on the horizon. No talks regarding a contract extension with the Eagles are happening. Several Premier League teams are inquiring about the 26-year-old French international.”
What’s Next for Lacroix Following Transfer Developments?
