Axel Disasi appears likely to leave Chelsea on loan before the January window closes, with West Ham reported to be in talks. Disasi has not played a senior match since April 2025, when he was on loan at Aston Villa, and transfer updates indicate a loan move to West Ham is close to being agreed according to Fabrizio Romano. BBC Sport expresses less certainty, but the Hammers have been in contact and may need to find interest from Lyon and Roma.<\/p>\n
The centre back\u2019s situation comes amid wider squad movement at Stamford Bridge. Teenager Tyrique George is again available after a permanent switch to Fulham fell through in the summer and, having struggled for minutes this season, he is on the list of potential departures. Fulham are not expected to re-enter talks, the club having recently spent \u00a327 million to sign Oscar Bobb from Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have recalled centre back Aar\u00f3n Anselmino from a loan with Borussia Dortmund. The recall was unexpected: the 20-year-old was said to be happy in Germany and, when fit, had been a regular starter. Reports suggest fresh talks will determine whether another loan exit is required. The Anselmino situation is linked to Chelsea\u2019s pursuit of a new centre back. J\u00e9r\u00e9my Jacquet of Rennes is the reported preferred target, but Chelsea have struggled to convince Rennes to sell midway through the season and are now looking at a summer agreement. Liverpool and Bayern Munich are also named as competing suitors.<\/p>\n
Young midfielder Kendry P\u00e1ez is due to return from a loan at Strasbourg after limited minutes and is set to head to River Plate. That move was only made possible by the recall of striker David Datro Fofana from Fatih Karag\u00fcmr\u00fck; the 23-year-old Ivory Coast international is a candidate for a permanent exit.<\/p>\n
Chelsea have received interest in goalkeeper Filip J\u00f6rgensen, and even Cole Palmer has been linked with an exit, although the club have dismissed suggestions they would sell their talisman. The Blues also explored a loan for Douglas Luiz in response to D\u00e1rio Essugo\u2019s injury, but Aston Villa ultimately secured the player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
