Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has been linked with a move away from the West London club, with Aston Villa interested.
Axel Disasi is unhappy at Chelsea due to a lack of game time, and he has been linked with Aston Villa. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, the French defender, who cost the West London outfit £38.5 million, is pushing for a move to the West Midlands club. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can get the deal done.
The West Midlands club have looked quite vulnerable defensively this season, and they could certainly use quality additions. So, it is hardly surprising that Aston Villa have shown interest in the French international.
The Chelsea defender could help them tighten up at the back. Axel Disasi has previously proven his quality at AS Monaco in the past, and there is no doubt that he is good enough for the Premier League as well. He has not had ample opportunities at Chelsea, and a fresh start would be ideal for him.
Aston Villa move could be ideal for Axel Disasi
The French defender will be desperate to prove himself in the Premier League, and Aston Villa will be an attractive destination for him, with personal terms not an issue. The Villans will be able to offer him Champions League football, and they have a talented squad at their disposal as well.
Furthermore, Aston Villa have a proven manager like Unai Emery at the helm and the Spanish tactician might be able to bring out the best in the French defender. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. The player is unwanted at Chelsea, and he is not a regular starter for them. The Blues could be tempted to get rid of him this month.
It will be interesting to see if the French international ends up leaving on loan or permanently. The defender will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular football and he will certainly hope that Chelsea and Aston Villa can secure an agreement before the winter transfer window closes.
The Frenchman is at the peak of his career right now, and sitting on the bench at Chelsea is unlikely to appeal to him. If Aston Villa can promise him regular game time, they will have no problems getting his approval regarding a move.
