Aston Villa Secures Chelsea Defender Axel Disasi On Loan Until Season's End

Aston Villa has signed Chelsea defender Axel Disasi on loan until the end of the season. This move follows Diego Carlos' exit and aims to strengthen Villa's defence as they compete in the Premier League and Champions League.

Aston Villa has secured Chelsea defender Axel Disasi on loan, marking the end of a busy transfer window. Unai Emery aimed to strengthen his defence after Diego Carlos moved to Fenerbahce. Villa succeeded in acquiring Disasi after a late contest with Tottenham, securing him on loan until the season's conclusion. Reports suggest Villa will pay Chelsea a £5 million loan fee.

Disasi joined Chelsea from Monaco in 2023. He was a regular last season, appearing in 31 Premier League matches. However, under Enzo Maresca, the 26-year-old has not been a frequent choice for the Blues. The French international is now Villa's fifth winter signing, following Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio on loan, and permanent deals for Donyell Malen and Andres Garcia.

Axel Disasi Joins Aston Villa on Loan

Villa currently holds eighth place in the Premier League standings after their recent 2-0 defeat against Wolves. Despite this setback, they have advanced to the Champions League's last 16 stage.

The addition of Disasi aims to enhance Villa's defensive capabilities as they continue their campaign across domestic and European competitions. His experience in top-flight football is expected to be valuable for the team as they strive for success this season.
