Axel Disasi has left Chelsea to join the Premier League rival Aston Villa loan For the rest of the season after a hectic period for the defender.
The French central defender agreed with the villa a week ago, but the blues hesitated to sell him to a direct opponent in the race for the qualification of the Champions League.
Tottenham Hotspur allegedly only concluded one contract with Chelsea to hand over the offer from one side that drove around the lower third of the Premier League table.
While Spurs shifted her focus on another defender who would reject her increasingly desperate progress, Villa plowed forward in her persecution.
The Active Midlands outfit, which has already added Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio to their squad in the past two days, confirmed the arrival of Disasi two hours after the transfer window was officially completed. The 26-year-old is said to have offered a loan fee of 5 million GBP, and the villa is expected to cover all of its Chelsea wages.
The Unai Emery’s side completely redesigned its front and sold Jhon Duran for a prospect of eye on Al Nassr and also added Donyell to the mixture, but had to need defensive reinforcements.
After the injuries to Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings, in addition to a January departure to Diego Carlos, Emery, together with Ezri Konsa for the Midlands Derby on Saturday, was forced against Wolverhampton Wanderers to name his best midfielder, Boubacar Kamara. This HodgePodge reverberation gave its hosts twice in a demoralizing defeat that Emery prompted: “We still need a few players. We have to replace some players who went.”
The Spanish boss got his wish.
