Palace instructed to raise bid for Wolfsburg defender Lacroix

Wolfsburg are hesitant to part ways with the speedy center half at this time. According to Ryan Taylor from The Mirror, Crystal Palace will likely need to pay a hefty price of nearly £17 million to secure the player.

Lacroix is seen as a replacement for Joachim Andersen, who has closed in on a move to Fulham.

Meanwhile, Palace are hoping to hold onto star defender Marc Guehi for another year.

While the English defender was linked to Newcastle United, they have yet to make a suitable offer.
