Chelsea Football Club made a significant addition to their squad on Friday as they officially announced the signing of French international defender, Axel Disasi, from AS Monaco. The 25-year-old centre-back put pen to paper on a six-year contract, solidifying his commitment to the English Premier League giants.

Disasi brings with him a wealth of experience, having featured in 130 matches in the highly competitive Ligue 1. His prowess on the field has also earned him four international caps with the French national team, including a memorable appearance at the previous year’s World Cup.

In an enthusiastic statement, the young defender expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea, saying, “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.”

The signing of Disasi signifies Chelsea’s commitment to strengthening their squad after enduring a challenging season, one of their worst in almost three decades in the Premier League. New manager Mauricio Pochettino is undertaking a squad overhaul, and the addition of the French defender is set to bolster their defense.

Chelsea’s co-sporting directors, Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, expressed their delight in acquiring Disasi. They acknowledged his consistent display of quality in France and his success on the international stage. Stewart and Winstanley believe that Disasi is now ready to take the next step in his career and that Chelsea is the perfect destination for his continued growth as a player.

As the excitement builds around the upcoming season, Chelsea’s acquisition of Axel Disasi has added a spark of optimism and determination within the club. With a promising talent like Disasi joining their ranks, the London club is setting their sights on a successful campaign, aiming to bring home coveted titles and re-establish themselves as a dominant force in English football.
