Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent weeks, with Borussia Dortmund vying for his signature.
Axel Disasi has struggled for regular opportunities at Chelsea, and he needs to leave to play more often. Borussia Dortmund are keen on securing his signature. According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, they will face competition from Newcastle United and West Ham United as well.
The French defender has failed to make his mark in English football since joining Chelsea in a €45 million deal, and it would be ideal for him to try out a new challenge. The move to Germany could be an exciting opportunity for him.
The Black and Yellows are one of the biggest clubs in Germany, and they will be able to provide him with regular football at a high level. On the other hand, he has not been able to adapt to English football properly and staying in the Premier League with Newcastle United or West Ham United might not be appealing for the player.
Having said that, Newcastle United have an ambitious project, and they could be an attractive destination for most players. Moving to West Ham might not be suitable for the defender. They are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League, and he will want to compete at a higher level.
The Frenchman has previously shown his quality in France with Monaco, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to succeed at Borussia Dortmund or Newcastle United. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He does not have a future at Chelsea, and they will look to sell him permanently in January. They will look to cut their losses on the player and move on.
Meanwhile, Chelsea need more quality and depth in the defensive unit. Selling the fringe players will bring in the funds to improve the player squad. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
It is fair to assume that Chelsea are unlikely to hold out for an observed amount of money for the defender. The West London outfit are likely to cash in on him for a reasonable fee, given his stature in the squad.
