Tottenham Hotspur are still pushing to sign one Chelsea star before the window closes tonight. The Blues are ready to part ways with the questioned star but the player is hesitating to join Spurs.
The player in question here is Axel Disasi who joined the Blues in 2023. He played 44 games in first season but struggled to play well. He was not looking the same defender he was when at Monaco. This resulted in him falling down the pecking order.
Disasi has played just 17 games this season. Out of those 17, only 6 are from Premier League out of which he started in only 4 games. Enzo Maresca prefers other defenders over Disasi. The Blues have recalled Trevoh Chalobah from loan which has now opened exit doors for Disasi.
Disasi agreed personal terms with Aston Villa. He talked with Unai Emery who convinced the defender to join Villa. However, Chelsea are unwilling to send Disasi there as Villa are their competitors for UCL spot of next season.
Tottenham are keen to sign Axel Disasi
Spurs are the second team in the race to sign Disasi. They agreed terms with Chelsea over loan move. However, the 26 year old is not willing to join them as he only wants to join Villa. Sami Mokbel has reported that Spurs are unwilling to give up and are still pushing to get the deal done in last hours of transfer window.
Spurs are keen to sign a defender after the latest injury to Dragusin. They originally wanted to sign Fikayo Tomori but the player rejected to switch sides in the middle of the season. Disasi was their backup option but has now became the priority.
As for Disasi, Spurs remain his best option to play regularly. Villa have already given up on his pursuit. The 26 year old can opt to stay at West London but will have to spend most of the time of bench.
