History looks set to repeat itself at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea decide on Axel Disasi’s future after the expiry of his West Ham United loan.
Axel Disasi’s season-long loan spell at West Ham United proved to be a vital rejuvenator for his career after finding himself surplus to requirements at Chelsea.
The central defender quickly adapted to life in East London, establishing himself as a reliable, physically dominant anchor in the Hammers’ backline.
West Ham ended up suffering relegation to the Championship, which seems to have ruled them out of signing Disasi permanently, as survival was one of his demands.
And his impressive form under Nuno Espirito Santo doesn’t appear to have altered his long-term prospects back at his parent club.
Looking back at Christian Pulisic’s time at Chelsea, how would you desrcibe it?🤔
Chelsea plan to sell Axel Disasi this summer
According to The Athletic, Chelsea will try to sell Axel Disasi, just like last year, and there happens to be a lot of interest after his loan stint in the Premier League.
Regardless of Chelsea’s stance, the damage was permanently done when Axel Disasi was exiled to Chelsea’s bomb squad under Enzo Maresca last summer.
Being frozen out of first-team training and completely stripped of his squad role destroyed any long-term future at Stamford Bridge, which is something Disasi has since spoken out about.
Where would Chelsea have finished if they signed Mike Maignan last summer?
He's being lined up as a potential replacement for Robert Sanchez yet again!
A return to Chelsea was always unlikely for Axel Disasi
Chelsea’s current defensive options are simply too bloated to even consider reintegrating Axel Disasi.
With players like Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Tosin Adarabioyo, Jorrel Hato and Mamadou Sarr, there is zero room left in the squad. Plus, you’ve got Josh Acheampong, who has the ability to play at centre-back and has done for the England Under-21 side.
Furthermore, Chelsea are actively looking for an experienced centre-back to add to their ranks, which has seen them register an interest in players like Jan Paul van Hecke.
