Axel Disasi Transfer

Started Last Movement

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.

Palace reportedly accelerate Disasi pursuit

Axel Disasi now looks likelier to join Crystal Palace than return to West Ham, though there is still no reported player agreement or completed transfer.

Claret & Hugh says Palace have accelerated their pursuit with a loan-to-buy offer. It also reports that Chelsea value the defender at £25 million and says Disasi made his preference for top-flight football clear in talks between West Ham and his representatives.

The outlet expects Disasi to choose Palace. Its suggestion that West Ham may have considered a similar loan structure is speculation, not a reported offer. For now, Palace have the clearer route and West Ham's interest still runs into the same blunt obstacle: Championship football.
