**Axel Disasi is keen to remain at West Ham beyond this season should the club remain in the Premier League, with ExWHUEmployee providing an update.**
The loanee from London rivals Chelsea has been a hugely successful signing for the club this season, with the defender slotting straight into Nuno Espirito Santo’s system, following his January move from the west London.
The France international has become a key figure for the 2nd half of the season, having formed a formidable partnership with Dinos Mavropanos in recent weeks.
The big question looming, should West Ham be successful in the battle to avoid relegation this season, is whether the club can sign Disasi on a permanent basis this summer.
Reporting on The West Ham Way Podcast, our insider Ex has advised that the player is very keen on the move, with there being a reasonable level of confidence that a deal could be struck, although of course it is early days.
“The club have advised that its down to the player whether he wants to push for a permanent move to West Ham this summer, with our Premier League status of course being a big factor,” stated Ex.
“We understand that the player loves the club and is keen to stay – having already said that his Aunt is a Hammers fan.
“However, attention right now is safety and that includes the player, who’s sole focus is to keep West Ham in the Premier League.
“Once this season concludes and if we so stay up, then talks over a permanent move will commence, however we are anticipating others being keen. But the club are hopeful.”
