West Ham United have opened talks with Chelsea over a potential loan move for defender Axel Disasi, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The French centre-back is expected to leave Stamford Bridge, with the Hammers pushing to complete the deal this week as they look to strengthen their defensive options.
Disasi, who joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in 2023, has found consistent game time difficult to secure amid intense competition in the Blues’ backline. With several defensive options available at Chelsea, the club is open to allowing the 26-year-old to leave on loan to gain regular minutes and maintain his match sharpness for the remainder of the season.
West Ham have identified Disasi as a key target as they aim to reinforce their squad ahead of the crucial second half of the campaign. David Moyes’ side has struggled with injuries and inconsistency in defence, prompting the club to explore the loan market for an experienced and physically strong centre-back.
