West Ham have been interested in re-signing the defender this summer following his loan spell during the second-half of last season. WHUFC slipped out of the Premier League after finishing in the bottom three with Burnley and Wolves and they are now eyeing an immediate promotion from the Championship.
Disasi, 28, linked up with the Hammers on a temporary basis from Chelsea in the last January transfer window and went on to play 17 games for the London outfit in all competitions, chipping in with one goal from the back. He has since returned to Stamford Bridge and he remains under contract with the Blues until June 2029.

However, in this latest update regarding his future with Xabi Alonso’s side, talkSPORT claim he is poised to sign for Crystal Palace on loan in this transfer window instead of going back to the London Stadium. Italian pair AC Milan and Roma have also been mentioned as suitors.
West Ham drew 2-2 away at Burnley last weekend at Turf Moor after leading 2-0. Max Kilman and Manor Solomon got their goals against the Clarets in Lancashire.
West Ham need to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements amid Axel Disasi transfer update
West Ham will need to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements over the next couple of weeks. WHUFC have until the deadline on Tuesday 1st September to complete any final bits of business.
The Hammers could have seen Disasi as someone to boost their options in the heart of their backline. If he had returned, he would have battled it out with the likes of Kilman and Konstantinos Mavropanos for a place in Nuno’s starting XI.
Disasi obviously has reservations over dropping down into the second tier though. A switch to Crystal Palace will see him stay in the top flight and play in Europe too.
The Frenchman has been on the books of Chelsea since joining them back in 2023 after spells at Paris FC, Stade de Reims and AS Monaco. He has struggled to make an impact with the Blues though and has also been shipped out to Aston Villa by them in the past.
