Chelsea star accepts to join Aston Villa on loan

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is keen on joining Aston Villa on loan for the remainder of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Frenchman has been a fringe player for the Blues this campaign, and he has largely featured in the Cup and European games.

Disasi's future has been speculated for a while, and Romano claims that he has now decided to join Villa on loan for the rest of the season.

Talks are ongoing between the clubs over the loan fee and salary coverage. A deal could be finalised in the next couple of days.

Disasi's form has been unconvincing over the past year. He recently made two high-profile errors in the shock defeat to Ipswich Town away from home.

He has the opportunity to revive his career under manager Unai Emery. He could be a regular starter for them amid their injury concerns.

With Pau Torres and Tyrone Mings sidelined, Disasi could be an assured starter for the Midlands outfit in the heart of their defence.
