Chelsea’s Summer Centre-Back Shortlist Takes Shape
Van Hecke and Maxence Lacroix are also options on Chelsea’s centre-back list this summer. As the Blues look to bolster their defence and provide a reliable partner for Levi Colwill, these two Premier League-proven talents have emerged alongside other targets. With questions over long-term fitness and consistency in the current group, Chelsea are prioritising experienced, physically dominant defenders who can contribute immediately.
Jan Paul van Hecke remains a strong candidate. The 25-year-old Dutch international has impressed at Brighton with his aerial ability, composure on the ball, and leadership. At 6’2”, he brings the height and strength Chelsea seek. With his contract unresolved and interest from several top clubs, a move could be realistic around the £40-50m mark.
Maxence Lacroix is another name on the shortlist. The 26-year-old Frenchman at Crystal Palace offers pace (the fastest among PL centre-backs this season), height at 6’3”, and strong ball-playing skills. Fresh off his first senior France caps and an FA Cup success, he would add athleticism and composure, with a potential fee north of £60m.
This expanded list reflects Chelsea’s push for proven Premier League quality. Including players like van Hecke and Lacroix allows negotiation flexibility while targeting suitable profiles. Which of these defenders would you most like to see in Chelsea blue?
