Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge, with Premier League rivals Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers expressing interest in the French international.
Disasi, who joined Chelsea from Monaco last summer for a fee of £38.8 million, has struggled to establish himself in the first team under manager Enzo Maresca.
The 26-year-old has made just six Premier League appearances this season, falling behind in the pecking order following the recall of Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace.
Chalobah has impressed since his return, starting the last two Premier League matches and solidifying his place in the starting XI.
With limited playing time and the increased competition for places, Disasi is now exploring his options, and a move away from Stamford Bridge appears increasingly likely.
A loan move to Aston Villa is a possibility, offering Disasi the chance to play regular Premier League football for a Champions League-chasing club while addressing their current injury concerns.
While Disasi has shown glimpses of his quality, including scoring in Chelsea’s 5-1 victory over Southampton, his inconsistent performances and the emergence of other defenders have limited his opportunities this season.
