Axel Disasi is very delighted with the move that he has made to West Ham after Chelsea and the Hammers reached an agreement which would see the big powerhouse make the move late in the winter transfer window.
The 27-year-old has joined the Hammers on loan from London neighbours CHELSEA, boasting over 300 senior appearances in the English top-flight, his native France, in European competition and on the senior international stage.
And after making the move to the Hammers, he told the club website: “I’m very happy to be here, to have this opportunity for my career. I’m just ready to fight and to play games.
“As you say, my path was a bit different. I didn’t go to an academy. I signed for Paris FC [in 2014, when I was 16], where I spent two years. I then moved to Stade de Reims, where I spent four years, and got my first professional contract there at 20 years old.
“Then I moved to Monaco for three years, then Chelsea and Aston Villa, and now I’m here.”
“I think it was the right move for me because, as everyone knows from my situation, I needed to get some minutes.
“The Club gave me the opportunity to show my quality on the pitch. I spoke with all the people here, and I feel that they really wanted me, so that’s why I’m here today, and I can’t wait to get going.”
“I just want to bring my personality and my character on the pitch. I like to be dominant and aggressive, but at the same time, outside the pitch, I’m someone who can laugh with the guys and make jokes.
“I just want to bring myself and make sure that we achieve our goals. I know them from the national team, so I’m very happy to see them back here.
“I also know Soungoutou Magassa. I saw him start in Monaco as a professional, so I’m happy to see him, and I’m sure that we’ll get the confidence all together on the pitch.
“He (Magassa) just told me to sign. Even this summer when he signed [for West Ham], I sent him a message saying, ‘Congratulations, but now this is the Premier League, so you have to be ready’.
“I spoke with him this week. I think he’s happy as well, so it’s nice.”
“As I said, everyone knows my situation in the last few months, so I just want to get back on the field, feel the sensation of games and help the team with my skills this year.”
