One Chelsea star has finally fulfilled his wish of joining Aston Villa. He was also looked upon by Tottenham Hotspur but rejected the deal as Villa was the only destination in his mind.
The star in question here is Axel Disasi who joined the Blues in 2023. In his first season, he received many chances to play. But, the 26 year was unable to impress the West London club. He was unable to adapt the pace of Premier League.
This resulted in Disasi falling down the pecking order. New Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca prefers other players over Disasi. The 26 year old has played just 6 league games and started in only 4 of those.
The Blues wanted to part ways with Disasi but it is often hard in the middle of the season. Hence, he was made available on loan and Aston Villa were keen to sign him. Unai Emery held talks with Disasi and convinced the star to join them.
However, Chelsea were unwilling to let Disasi join Villa. It is because Villa are in race with them for the top 4 position. Later, Spurs joined the race after the injury to Dragusin. The Blues accepted the offer from Spurs but the player rejected to join them.
Chelsea agree to let Disasi join Villa on loan
Disasi made it clear that he will only join Villa. He was convinced by Emery and was hoping to play Champions League football. Due to rejecting Spurs, the Blues had no option to let Disasi join Villa on loan.
It is confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that Disasi has joined Villa. Chelsea will receive £5 million as loan fee and Villa will also cover the player’s salary. Disasi will get to play regularly at Villa and will have a big role under Emery. Villa had a very good and busy window and hence they will consider anything less than top 4 finish as failure.
