Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has agreed to join Aston Villa on loan after struggling for game time under manager Enzo Maresca . Disasi, who signed a six-year deal with Chelsea in the summer of 2023 for £38.5 million, was placed in the club's 'bomb squad' alongside players like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell. Despite making over 40 appearances for Chelsea last season under Mauricio Pochettino, Disasi has only received four league starts this season.
\While Chelsea were open to offers for the 26-year-old, Disasi initially stayed at Stamford Bridge. However, his lack of playing time has led him to seek a move to Villa Park. Aston Villa are currently three points and two positions behind Chelsea in the Premier League table, with both clubs vying for a top-four finish and a place in the Champions League. \Disasi's potential move to Villa would make him their third signing of the January transfer window, following defender Andres Garcia from Levante and Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea, on the other hand, have endured a difficult start to the year, winning only one of their four league games and slipping out of the Champions League spots. Maresca, speaking after Chelsea's 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday, acknowledged the missed opportunity to score a second goal early in the match. He stated that the game could have been significantly different had they capitalized on their chances. Disasi could be one of several Chelsea players departing before the January transfer window closes, with Renato Veiga reportedly closing in on a move to Juventus and Omari Kellyman linked with a loan move elsewhere
