Aston Villa want to make Axel Disasi loan permanent but face Premier League competition | OneFootball

Axel Disasi (26) has quickly established himself at Aston Villa. After making the move to Chelsea from AS Monaco, the Frenchman struggled to hold down a starting spot at Stamford Bridge, despite at times wearing the captain’s armband.

As a result, he made a move to Aston Villa during the January transfer window. Unlike at Chelsea, Disasi is a guaranteed starter for his new club. Since joining on loan at the end of January, he has made five appearances. According to a report from Foot Mercato, Aston Villa are very happy with his performances, to the extent that they would like to keep the centre-back beyond the end of his current loan spell. When he made the move to Villa Park, he did so without a permanent option being included in the deal.

However, Disasi, who is hoping for a return to the national team set-up later this month, is garnering interest from other unnamed Premier League clubs, according to Foot Mercato.
