French defender of Congolese descent Axel Disasi is poised to make a transfer to Aston Villa after coming to an agreement on personal terms with the club, as reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The 26-year-old has attracted interest from several top clubs across Europe; however, he has opted for a move to Villa Park.
Direct conversations with Villa’s head coach, Unai Emery, significantly influenced his decision to join the Premier League side.
The transfer now rests with Chelsea and Aston Villa to finalize the details. Aston Villa must negotiate a full agreement with Chelsea to complete the transfer of Disasi, who has become a primary target for the club.
His game time at Chelsea has been limited, featuring in just six league games and another two in the League Cup.
Disasi’s move to Villa represents a strategic addition to the team’s defensive lineup, as they seek to strengthen their squad for the remainder of the season.
The club’s management is eager to secure his services, especially after the successful discussions between Disasi and Emery.
