Leeds join race to sign Chelsea defender Axel Disasi
"Leeds have had a resurgence in recent weeks, and they will hope to carry on their momentum in the transfer market. The plan is for multiple positions in Daniel Farke's squad to be addressed, and one of those is in defence. Farke's switch to a back three has been a masterstroke, but it also means that Leeds need to bring in at least one more centre-back."
"The 27-year-old has been dropped to the Chelsea reserves since the summer, so there would be a good chance for an agreement to be reached in the coming weeks. Chelsea have made it clear that Disasi is not counted on, which is why they are hoping to get him gone in January. They hope to agree a transfer, but given that it is mid-season,"
Leeds have regained form recently and plan to strengthen multiple positions during the January window, with defence singled out for reinforcement. Daniel Farke's shift to a back three has improved results but increased the need for at least one more centre-back. Elland Road officials have registered interest in Axel Disasi and are exploring a loan move for the second half of the season. The 27-year-old fell out of favour at Chelsea and has been training with the reserves since the summer, making a temporary departure likely. Chelsea prefer to move him on in January and may accept a mid-season loan given transfer constraints.
