On Friday, Chelsea made an official announcement regarding the signing of French international defender, Axel Disasi, from Monaco. The centre-back has put pen to paper on a six-year contract with the club.
With 130 appearances in Ligue 1 and four caps for the French national team, Disasi brings a wealth of experience to the team. He was also part of the French squad that competed in the World Cup last year. Although the transfer fee remains undisclosed, it is believed to be in the region of €45 million.
The addition of Disasi comes in the wake of an injury to Wesley Fofana, and he now provides Chelsea with an alternative for the right centre-back position. The 25-year-old expressed his delight at joining the club, stating, "I am so happy to be here, at this big club.
I am really proud to be able to be a part of this great family, and I hope to achieve very big things here, to win titles. I will do everything I can to achieve those objectives. I am very ambitious. I can't wait to feel the energy of the fans." The co-sporting directors of Chelsea, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, expressed their satisfaction with the signing, praising Disasi's consistent display of quality in the French league, which earned him recognition on the international stage. They believe he is ready to take the next step in his career, and the club is excited to have him on board.
The acquisition of Disasi comes as part of the squad overhaul undertaken by Chelsea's new manager, Mauricio Pochettino. After enduring their worst Premier League season in almost three decades, the club is keen on revamping the team and returning to top form. With the new Premier League season set to kick off, Chelsea will face Liverpool in their opening game on August 13th. The club's supporters eagerly await the performance of their new signing and the revamped team under Pochettino's management.
Overall, Chelsea's latest signing of Axel Disasi signifies their commitment to building a competitive squad for the upcoming season. As the Premier League action resumes, fans can look forward to seeing how Disasi's addition and Pochettino's managerial influence will shape the club's fortunes on the field.
