Axel Disasi, a Chelsea defender, is closing in on a transfer to Aston Villa, aiming to strengthen their beleaguered defense.
Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is reportedly on the verge of joining Aston Villa in a transfer deal, potentially solving the Midlands club's defensive woes. While Villa remains Disasi's preferred destination, the final decision may rest with his current club, Chelsea . Should the move to Villa fall through, relegation-threatened Wolves are poised to make a bid for the 26-year-old. Disasi made a promising debut against Liverpool last season, but his impact at Chelsea has been limited.
Despite 61 appearances for the Blues, he has only featured in six Premier League matches this season. Chelsea's abundance of options at center-back, including Levi Colwill, Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoit Badiashile, and the injured Wesley Fofana, has contributed to Disasi's limited playing time. The club has also recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace and played fellow academy graduate Josh Acheampong.Meanwhile, Aston Villa is desperate for defensive reinforcements. Ezri Konsa is their only fit senior center-back, and Tyrone Mings suffered a suspected knee injury during their 1-1 draw against West Ham on Sunday. This setback comes after Diego Carlos completed his move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce. Disasi could become Villa's third signing of the January transfer window, following Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia. Aston Villa's recent form has been concerning, with defeats to Arsenal and Leicester City's shock win over Tottenham pushing them into the relegation zone. Disasi's potential arrival would bolster their defense and provide much-needed stability
