Chelsea FC defender Axel Disasi's future is set to be decided, with West Ham keen to sign him permanently after a successful loan spell. As of 10 Jul 2026, Chelsea FC are 10th in Premier League, with 52 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LWDLL.

What happened to Disasi at Chelsea FC?

Disasi's loan spell at West Ham revived his career, which had stalled at Chelsea FC under Enzo Maresca. He made 17 appearances for West Ham, scoring once in the FA Cup.

Why West Ham want to keep Disasi

West Ham are keen to keep Disasi, offering him a leadership role within Nuno Espírito Santo's squad. With several senior players leaving after relegation, Disasi could become a central figure in their rebuild.

What comes next for Disasi?

Chelsea FC have agreed a £25 million fee with West Ham, giving them permission to negotiate directly with Disasi. However, interest from other clubs means West Ham cannot assume the deal will happen automatically. Disasi remains an experienced France international, entering the prime years of his career, with Premier League and European clubs monitoring his situation. As Chelsea FC look to trim their squad ahead of the new season, they are happy to sanction a permanent departure for Disasi. With 58 goals scored and 52 conceded, Chelsea FC have a +6 goal difference, and are 33 points behind leaders Arsenal. West Ham, meanwhile, are rebuilding after relegation to the Championship, and see Disasi as a key part of their plans.
