West Ham have competition as Italian club emerges with interest to sign Chelsea player | OneFootball

West Ham may have some competition on their hands if they truly want to sign a Chelsea player in this transfer window.

There is an Italian club who is emerging with some interest for the same player, and it might make for an interesting few days now around this situation, with the transfer window closing at the weekend.

Chelsea still have some bits to do you’d imagine, especially in terms of offloading some players before the window closes.

We have just been talking about Chelsea’s attempts to still sign a new centre back this window, but there is a centre back they have in their own ranks they are trying to sell.

It was reported yesterday that West Ham United have entered talks to sign Chelsea defender Axel Disasi late in the window in an attempt to get a loan deal sorted until the end of the season.

However, they face competition now apparently.

Fiorentina in for Disasi?

Fiorentina are ready to approach Chelsea to ask after the availability of defender Axel Disasi, claim Sky Sport Italia, as cited and translated by Football Italia.

The report doesn’t say too much more, other than Gianluca Di Marzio saying Disasi is now expected to be Fiorentina’s next transfer target this window. So let’s see what happens with that one.

Disasi has been in training

The outcast has returned to full training with the Chelsea first team after being outcasted by the club. Many feared this meant that he would be coming back into the first team squad under Liam Rosenior. But it was clearly just to attempt to keep his valuation by keeping up his fitness in group training and nothing more than that.

It’s been clear for some time that Disasi is not in Chelsea’s plans going forward.
