Negotiations are reportedly underway between West Ham and Chelsea over the potential transfer of Axel Disasi. The defender is seen as a key target, and both clubs are now discussing whether there is a deal to be done. While no agreement has yet been struck, talks are said to be progressing steadily behind the scenes. Aston Villa, Monaco and Crystal Palace may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. This season (25/26) West Ham have shipped 16 goals in 7 matches - 2.29 a game, which is well above the Premier League average. Axel Disasi would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back. Chelsea continue to be linked with Conrad Harder, Roger Fernandes and Ademola Lookman while West Ham are also rumoured to be tracking Bright Akwo Arrey-Mbi, Charlie Cresswell and Mehdi Taremi.
