BBC Sport: Two European clubs to rival West Ham in chase for €45m Chelsea star | OneFootball

West Ham have made contact with Chelsea over a loan move for Axel Disasi, but Lyon and Roma could rival the Hammers according to BBC Sport.

Disasi is expected to leave before the window closes at 7pm on Monday evening, but so far no offers have come in for the Frenchman.

The 27-year-old hasn’t played for Chelsea for over a year, although he was seen back in first team training before the game against Pafos earlier this month.

Roma and Lyon to rival West Ham for Axel Disasi

Disasi has appeared for the development side in an attempt to work on his match fitness, but hasn’t played first team football since a loan spell at Aston Villa over the second half of last season.

West Ham are believed to be close to signing Disasi on loan, but BBC Sport have reported Roma have also registered interest in a loan.

West Ham are interested in signing Disasi on loan.

The report adds French side Lyon have asked to be kept informed about Disasi’s availability before the end of the window.

Liam Rosenior has previously hinted at reintegrating Disasi into the squad, and it will be interesting to see what happens if he remains at Stamford Bridge this month.

Chelsea pushing to sign Jeremy Jacquet

Whilst the Blues are looking to offload Disasi, they are looking to bring in another centre half in the form of Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet.

Jacquet has indicated he only wants to join Chelsea, but as of yet the Blues haven’t made an offer for the 20-year-old.

Rennes are said to want £60m for the France international, who’s regarded as one of the best centre back prospects in Europe.

Whether a deal gets done remains to be seen, but Chelsea have recalled Aaron Anselmino from Borussia Dortmund, so have added cover if a deal for Jacquet doesn’t get done.
