Axel Disasi would be willing to stay at West Ham United based on one painfully obvious condition, it seems, after finding a happy new home at the London Stadium.
While Disasi has admitted the life of a professional footballer means the future is always uncertain, it’s clear that he has made a significant impact here in east London.
The central defender has helped a West Ham United backline previously among the worst in Europe tighten up to the point where they might actually stay in the Premier League.

Hammers News understands that West Ham would like to keep Disasi on a permanent basis and it seems that is a genuine possibility – largely because of Nuno Espirito Santo.
Disasi thinks West Ham are a close-knit family
According to The Athletic, the defender has a close bond with Nuno and that is a major part of his desire to stay at the club long-term.
That, however, is still seemingly almost certain to be determined on whether the club stay in the Premier League this season.
It’s also added that the French international sees West Ham as a close-knit family, which must be in stark contrast to what he experienced during his final few months at Chelsea.

After putting himself in the shop window with some fine performances at times, rival clubs want to sign Disasi.
Watching him move elsewhere this summer would be gutting, but Hammers fans have been here before with a certain Jesse Lingard.

There’s little doubt that it was a risk to sign a player who hadn’t played any meaningful football for so long.
However, the move has so far worked out for all parties and the idea of it finishing forever in just five games’ time is a concern.
Disasi has been brilliant for West Ham and they have been brilliant for him. Hopefully, this is a partnership that still has a while to run.
