Axel Disasi is reportedly very happy after completing his loan move from Chelsea to Crystal Palace, with the French defender now preparing for the next chapter of his Premier League career.
The centre-back joined Palace on loan for the 2026/27 season earlier this week, bringing an end, at least temporarily, to his time at Stamford Bridge. Disasi will now look to establish himself as an important part of the Eagles’ squad as he searches for consistent first-team football.
The France international joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in August 2023 and has made more than 60 appearances for the Blues in all competitions. During his time in west London, Disasi experienced European football, domestic cup competition and spells with some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
One of the standout moments of his CHELSEA career came during the 2024/25 campaign, when he played a significant role in the club’s successful UEFA Conference League run. The defender started Chelsea’s opening eight matches in the competition before the Blues went on to lift the trophy.
However, regular opportunities became increasingly difficult to find, resulting in several loan spells away from Stamford Bridge. Disasi finished the 2024/25 season on loan at Aston Villa before spending the second half of last season with West Ham
“I’m very happy. The club has been going in a very good direction, so I think it was the right place for me to keep going.
“I know that it’s very tough to play against Palace at Selhurst Park – so I’m looking forward to being on the other side now!”
Now, the 28-year-old is hoping to enjoy another productive season at Crystal Palace. Reports suggest Disasi is delighted with the move and excited by the opportunity to join the Eagles as he looks to make an immediate impression at Selhurst Park.
The loan provides the Frenchman with a fresh start and another chance to demonstrate the qualities that initially convinced Chelsea to bring him to England from Monaco. Strong in the air, physically imposing and comfortable competing against some of the Premier League’s best forwards, Disasi will be eager to become a key figure in Palace’s defensive plans.
For CHELSEA, the move also offers Disasi the chance to play regularly while the club continue to monitor his development and progress throughout the campaign
