France international of Congolese descent Alex Disasi is expected to return to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell.
Disasi struggled at the beginning of the season at Chelsea. In search of regular playing time, the defender was farmed out of loan in January, joining Aston Villa for the remainder of the campaign.
With a permanent move to Aston Villa looking impossible, the 27- year-old centre-back will return to parent club at the end of the season. No purchase option was included in the initial loan deal between the two Premier League clubs.
Aston Villa paid a £5m loan fee to gain the services of the Chelsea centre back until the end of the season.
Having failed to impress, Aston Villa have decided not to secure the defender on a permanent deal.
Disasi was most recently left out of Unai Emery’s squad to face Fulham, and signs point towards the Frenchman returning to Stamford Bridge at the end of the current season.
The defender Disasi is also likely to be shown the exit door when he returns to Chelsea. The former Monaco defender has been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca, and in a bid to raise transfer funds, the West London club are planning to sell the defender.
