Chelsea star Axel Disasi ‘agrees personal terms with Aston Villa’ with rival club also in mix for transfer

AXEL DISASI is in talks over a January transfer to Aston Villa. But a huge rival could try and hijack the move in an attempt to get the Frenchman's signature. The Chelsea defender, who can play at centre-back or right-back, is deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.

Enzo Maresca recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his Crystal Palace loan this month. The Blues boss also has Tosin Abarabioyo and Levi Colwill available at centre-back - while Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile are currently out injured - plus Malo Gusto and Reece James at right-back.
And SunSport understands negotiations are well underway between the two Premier League clubs over a deal for Disasi, 26. According to Fabrizio Romano, personal terms over his Villa Park contract have already been agreed. Unai Emery is desperate to bolster his defence before the transfer window closes next Monday night, especially after Diego Carlos' exit and Tyrone Mings' latest injury blow.

Loic Bade turned down a switch while Emery has also considered a reunion with Villarreal defender Juan Foyth. Now, though, Disasi appears to be the frontrunner as Villa try and cling on to Champions League qualification for next season - and continue their strong run in this season's competition.
