Is Maxence Lacroix Really an Upgrade on Trevoh Chalobah? While I still don't think Maxence Lacroix is the very best option available for Chelsea, I do believe he would improve this squad. For me, Levi Colwill is Chelsea's best centre-back. He is untouchable. The real question isn't Colwill. The real question is: who is the best partner for him? Among the defenders already at the club, I believe Trevoh Chalobah is the strongest option. So the comparison shouldn't be Lacroix against every defender Chelsea have. It should be Lacroix versus Chalobah. Looking at the numbers, Lacroix comes out ahead in the areas Chelsea need most. He has consistently produced more tackles, more interceptions and significantly more clearances than Chalobah over the last two Premier League seasons. In 2025/26, he ranked among the league's very best for clearances while also maintaining strong duel success and aerial dominance. Perhaps the biggest advantage is availability. Lacroix has started around 35 league matches in each of the last two seasons, playing well over 3,000 minutes each campaign. Chalobah, on the other hand, has regularly found himself rotating in and out of the side. That doesn't mean Chalobah isn't a very good defender. He offers versatility, chips in with important goals and has proven himself whenever called upon. But since Chelsea's priority is finding the most reliable defensive partner for Colwill, the statistics suggest Lacroix would represent an upgrade. It may not be the dream signing. But compared with Chelsea's current options alongside Colwill, I can understand why the club sees value in the move. What's your honest verdict on Chelsea's summer business so far? How much progress do you think we've made? #CFC

The real question isn't Colwill.

The real question is: who is the best partner for him?
