Tottenham facing transfer battle with Borussia Dortmund for Crystal Palace ace after impressive season

<p>Thomas Frank's side are keen on landing Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace following an impressive season in the Premier League with the Eagles, according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Mercato-le-defenseur-de-crystal-palace-maxence-lacroix-interesse-tottenham/1579074" target="_blank"><em>L'Equipe</em></a>. Spurs want to add some steel to their backline as they prepare to play Champions League football in the 2025-26 season.</p><p></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lacroix joined from Wolfsburg last summer and enjoyed a strong first season at Selhurst Park, helping the Eagles win the FA Cup. His performances have also attracted interest from Dortmund and several Italian sides, meaning Palace may face a fight to keep hold of him this summer. The defender has a contract with the Premier League club until 2029.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Tottenham have already signed Mohammed Kudus from West Ham this summer but are expected to bring in more new signings. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tottenham-eye-paris-saint-germain-target-cristian-romero-transfer-uncertainty/bltfa29d17fd29c5bc9" target="_blank">Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi</a> has emerged as a potential target, while Spurs are also being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/brentford-identify-yoane-wissa-transfer-replacement-newcastle-tottenham-nottingham-forest-eye-striker/blte341dc4ba78a39fc" target="_blank">linked with a move for Brentford's Yoane Wissa</a>.</p><p><strong></strong></p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Spurs will be hoping they can bring in new players before they kick off their Premier League campaign against Burnley on August 16th. Thomas Frank's team are back in action in a pre-season friendly against Luton on Saturday.</p><p></p>
