Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has done a very fine job at the club since his move to the Premier League and he he has been constantly praised for making this Blues side one of the best defensively in the Premier League.
However, the German knows that he needs to strengthen in that area of the pitch and has been eyeing up a move for a few defenders, but it seems that the Chelsea boss has made up his mind on whom he would like
Sky Germany suggest Tuchel is a keen admirer after keeping close tabs on Lacroix and discussions are in place over a possible agreement for the sought-after 21-year-old.
Lacroix is widely regarded as one of the finest young defenders in the German top flight and Wolfsburg are reluctant to part with such a key player.

There is no doubt that Lacroix is a very fine young defender that has a very bright future in the game, and to be honest, if Chelsea do sign him, he will have the opportunity to learn from Thiago Silva before replacing the Great Brazilian.
He will only cost £26 million, which is not alot of money for this Chelsea side, and he add some quality to the side, so many will be hoping that a deal goes through because Chelsea have a serious chance of winning back that Premier League title next season with a dew quality signings.
