Axel Disasi Transfer

Will Axel Disasi join West Ham? It looks unlikely. Claret & Hugh reports that Crystal Palace have accelerated their move with a loan-to-buy offer and expects Disasi to choose Palace.

The outlet says the defender wants top-flight football, the clearest obstacle to a West Ham return. No player agreement or completed transfer has been reported.

Disasi reportedly set to choose Crystal Palace

Axel Disasi is now reported to be heading for Crystal Palace rather than returning to West Ham. Claret & Hugh, citing the London Standard, says the defender looks set to reject West Ham and join Palace.

That fits the obstacle already hanging over this deal: earlier reporting said Disasi did not want to play in the Championship. The latest account still does not establish a player agreement or completed transfer. For West Ham, the reunion is looking less likely.
