The least surprising deadline day deal is likely to be concluded today as West Ham secure the last minute signature of Chelsea’s defender **Axel Disasi.**
[Skysports](https://www.skysports.com) are reporting this morning that the centre back is scheduled for a medical with the Hammers prior to signing a deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the season.
Full details of the move – which is thought to be a loan with option – will emerge later this morning but with the impending ban for Jean Clair Todibo looming, the Hammers had little choice but to strengthen.
Not having played for six months , the jury is out as to whether Disasi will be an upgrade on the now returned Igor Julio who made just four appearances in Claret and Blue after his summer loan from Brighton.
Disasi may be unable to ‘hit the ground running’ after only completing a couple of games for the under 21’s at Stamford bridge this year.
