West Ham United have completed the loan signing of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, securing the France international until the end of the current Premier League season.
West Ham United have added defensive depth by securing Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea, completing the deal during the latter stages of the Premier League transfer window.
The 27-year-old centre-back has struggled for consistent first-team opportunities at Chelsea this season following a series of tactical changes and increased competition in defence. The move offers Disasi a chance to revive his campaign with regular minutes in east London.
Disasi joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in 2023 and is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2029. Despite making a positive early impression, he has found it difficult to establish himself as a guaranteed starter.
West Ham have been keen to reinforce their back line as they navigate a demanding league schedule. The club believes Disasi’s physical presence, top-flight experience and international pedigree can add stability at the heart of their defence.
The loan agreement does not include an option to buy, leaving Disasi’s long-term future to be reassessed at the end of the season. For now, the focus is firmly on immediate impact as West Ham look to climb the Premier League table.
