Chelsea offload two players on deadline day | OneFootball

Although it was a quiet transfer window for Chelsea, they did manage to offload two players on deadline day.

Tyrique George and Axel Disasi have both left the club on loan. Disasi has moved to West Ham, and George to Everton.

George has made the move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the rest of this campaign, with an option to make the move permanent in the summer.

The Englishman is a Cobham graduate but has not started a single Premier League game this season and only made four appearances from the bench.

On joining Everton, he said: “The fans here are exceptional. I know Evertonians are really passionate. They like hard work – and that’s what I’m going to show.

“The gaffer, David Moyes, was another reason [I wanted to join]. He’s an amazing manager who has coached so many players, like Wayne Rooney, and players like that. I’ve had a brief conversation with him and he’s an amazing person as well.

“I just want to enjoy it, learn under him and improve.”

Disasi has joined West Ham until the end of the season, and has not played since last April. The deal does not contain an option or obligation to buy.

West Ham were keen to bring in a defensive reinforcement following Jean-Clair Todibo’s red card that he picked up against Chelsea in the 3-2 defeat.

On the move, Disasi said: “I’m very happy to be here, to have this opportunity. I’m just ready to fight and to play games. Everyone knows my situation in the last few months, so I just want to get back on the field, feel the sensation of games and help the team. 

“The club (West Ham) has given me the opportunity to show my quality on the pitch. I spoke with all the people here, and I feel that they really wanted me, so that’s why I’m here today. 

“It’s an exciting challenge. We know that the club is not at the place that it should be, but I’m here to help the team and to bring what I can to achieve our goal.”
