According to recent reports, Chelsea has opted for an Axel Disasi loan move to Tottenham as opposed to Aston Villa till the end of the season.
In a surprising turn of events, Chelsea has had a change of heart regarding the loan destination of their young defender, Axel Disasi for what is left of the 2024/2025 season as it has been speculated that they would opt for a loan move to Tottenham as opposed to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
Initially, it seemed as though a possible move to Aston Villa was on the horizon for the French defender who had reportedly reached an agreement on personal terms with the club, but new reports suggest that Chelsea is actually keen on sending Disasi to Tottenham Hotspur on loan instead.
It has been speculated that the driving force behind Chelsea’s decision to prefer Tottenham as a loan destination for Axel Disasi instead of Aston Villa can be attributed to the fact that both teams are currently vying for a spot in the Champions League for the 2025/2026 season.
According to the Daily Mail, Chelsea was more open to sending Disasi to Tottenham on loan, rather than Aston Villa, as they view the Lilywhites as a direct competitor for a top-four finish. By sending Disasi to Tottenham, Chelsea may have been trying to strengthen a rival team that they believe has a lower chance of finishing above them in the league table.
On the other hand, by not sending Disasi to Aston Villa, Chelsea may have been trying to prevent a team that they consider a more significant threat to their own Champions League ambitions from gaining an advantage.
It’s a clever tactic by Chelsea, but it will be interesting to see how this move plays out in the long run. Tottenham, who are in 14th place in the Premier League will be hoping that by the time deadline day comes to an end, they can add another fresh face to their injury-raved squad.
