Tottenham are ready to make a late attempt to sign Axel Disasi, but the player seems reluctant to move across London.
According to Sami Mokbel, Tottenham is ready to make a late attempt to take Axel Disasi from Chelsea. The centre-back has been a player of interest to Spurs and Aston Villa, as the Frenchman is reportedly reluctant to move to North London.
The future of Axel Disasi is set to rumble on until the later hours of the transfer window, as the defender could be on the move before the deadline. Chelsea are seemingly open to finding a solution to the unwanted player’s immediate future, as he does have a few offers to contemplate.
The story about Tottenham entering the race might have stemmed from the injury update on Radu Dragusin. Spurs had already been rejected by Fikayo Tomori but ended up signing Kevin Danso from RC Lens on a loan with buy obligations and conditions.
Ange Postecoglou is angling for another addition to central defence, as Tottenham had agreed on a deal for Disasi a few days prior. The Frenchman has been deprived of regular playing time, and there’s a chance to join a rival in the Premier League to get playing every week.
Aston Villa also had an interest in Disasi, but talks have since halted as Chelsea have made any deal difficult for Unai Emery’s side. The argument is that not discussing terms with Villa stemmed from the fact that the Blues now consider their direct rivals for a top-four place. The defender agreed on personal terms with the Birmingham side, as things could still materialise.
Tottenham to revive Axel Disasi’s interest
Tottenham had cooled their interest as Disasi was reluctant to move across London, which might still be the case with the 26-year-old Chelsea ace. However, Spurs are willing to revive their interest and make a late approach to sign him before the deadline.
There’s the feeling that Chelsea might open their doors to doing business with Spurs, but the final decision might be that of the players. As per Sami Mokkbel, Disasi is reportedly reluctant to move to north London, which could effectively irk the Chelsea fanbase, as things could get more apparent closer to the deadline.
