West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing 26-year-old Chelsea defender Axel Disasi during the January transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, West Ham United are lining up a winter move for French defender Axel Disasi, and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to let him leave on loan.
The Hammers need defensive reinforcements, and signing the Frenchman, who cost Chelsea £30 million, on loan would be a wise decision. Disasi will be desperate for regular game time, and he will look to prove his quality in English football. The move to Chelsea has not worked out as expected, and a fresh opportunity would be ideal for him.
The loan move to West Ham could give him a fresh start and help him get back to his best. He has previously shown his quality with AS Monaco and the French national team. West Ham need to tighten up defensively, and Disasi could be a useful option for them.
West Ham defender Luizao has been linked with a move away from the club ahead of the January transfer window, and the Chelsea defender could be his short-term replacement. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can work out a deal that benefits them.
Disasi needs a fresh start
Axel Disasi might not have a future at Chelsea, but securing a permanent move away from Stamford Bridge in January might prove to be complicated. A loan move within the Premier League would be ideal for now. If he manages to impress at West Ham during the second half of the season, he might be able to secure a big move away from Chelsea in the summer.
The Blues would be able to recoup a substantial amount of money for him as well. The move makes sense for all parties involved, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. Meanwhile, another Chelsea player, Tosin Adarabioyo, has been linked with a loan move to West Ham United.
The Hammers have had a disappointing season so far, and they are languishing in 14th place. West Ham must improve their squad in January if they want to finish the season strongly and push for a top-half place in the table. Signing a quality defender should be one of their priorities.
