Chelsea has officially unveiled their new signing defender Axel Disasi who join from Monaco, MySportDab reports.
The Blues are currently two defenders short of their team due to injuries which could see them stay out for a long period in time.
Axel Disasi is coming in as a backup plan to replace Wesley Fofana and Beniot Badiashile who are both looking to stay out for a long time.
Chelsea made the move happen seeing there was no choice than to add more defensive power knowing they only have three players in that position.
Thiago Silva age is also the difference as the Blues are also looking at the future before they made the move happen this summer.
Chelsea had to quicken the deal as talks started between them and Monaco to complete a move for the player.
The deal will see the Premier League player paying the sum of €45 million to Monaco in total for the defender.
Medical already took place after an agreement was reached for the player who travelled to England where the rest of the team are right now.
Chelsea Unveil and announced the signing of Axel Disasi via their official website and social media accounts as a permanent player.
Here Is What Axel Disasi Said:
‘It’s something I’ve been waiting for. ‘I am so happy to be here, at this big club.
‘I am really proud to be able to be a part of this great family, and I hope to achieve very big things here.
‘To win titles. I will do everything I can to achieve those objectives. I am very ambitious.
‘I can’t wait to feel the energy of the fans,’ he continues, now looking out at the pitch from high up in the West Stand. Another perspective to take in.
‘This is a very good stadium, one where you have a beautiful proximity to the fans. A typical English stadium, I think.
‘The fervour of the fans in the Premier League, the atmosphere, the intensity of the games: it is something that excites me.’
The move is one which was approved by Mauricio Pochettino who needed more assurance at the back going into the season.
The Blues won’t be playing in Europe after finishing 12th position last season due to their poor performance and disruption with the team.
Axel Disasi join as a new player and will be hoping to quickly adapt into life playing in the Premier League this season.
