West Ham have signed Chelsea defender Axel Disasi on loan until the end of the season. The 27‑year‑old centre-back was involved in a turbulent deadline day, which ended in a move to the London Stadium for a £1.7m loan fee. However, despite the France international beginning his medical on Friday morning, confirmation of the transfer ran late after West Ham submitted a deal sheet to earn a two-hour extension to complete the signing. Disasi arrives to strengthen Nuno Espirito Santo's defence as they attempt to avoid relegation. I'm just ready to fight and to play games," said Disasi, who has been capped five times by his country.
