Chelsea’s Axel Disasi completed a loan move to Aston Villa on winter deadline day.
The centre-back was limited to six league games, with four starts, for Chelsea this season. Enzo Maresca mainly used him in the UEFA Conference League and cup competitions.
Disasi has already made four starts in the Premier League for Aston Villa and one more in the Champions League.
Foot Mercato cover his impressive performances for Aston Villa where he has become an undisputed starter after being a substitute at Chelsea.
The Villans don’t have a purchase option, meaning the defender has to return to Chelsea after this season.
Unai Emery’s side have been impressed by the 26-year-old’s performances and would like to retain him beyond his loan spell. The report states his recent performances have also attracted interest from other Premier League clubs.
Foot Mercato don’t mention the details but warn Aston Villa they have to be ‘wary’ about the domestic competition.
For now, the Chelsea man would be focusing on his own performances for Aston Villa. The outlet says that with Disasi’s level in a team like Aston Villa, they can ‘legitimately aim for very good things’ at the end of this season.
Aston Villa are in the running to win the FA Cup and are active in the Champions League. In the Premier League, they are currently seventh in the table.
