CHELSEA’s latest signing Axel Disasi has said he has been previously likened to club legend Marcel Desailly.
Axel Disasi completed his £38million move from AS Monaco to Stamford Bridge on Friday morning after the club made the big decision to splash some cash and bring him to the Premier League
The centre-back has arrived at Stamford Bridge amid the news that Wesley Fofana is set for a long spell on the sidelines due to an ACL injury, and the continued speculation that Trevor Chalobah could be leaving the club.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID –
Speaking to Chelsea’s media team, he was revealed how he was compared to Marcel Desailly when he was younger.
“When I started to play professionally, my first coach said, ‘You are like Desailly’. It’s also a similar name like me, Desailly, Disasi, they’re a little bit the same.
“So the people say, ‘You are like Desailly’, and he was a good player, a great player for the French national team and for Chelsea also.
“[A CHELSEAlegend] Yeah for sure, I hope, I hope.”
WILL DISASI BE A GOOD SIGNING?
The man has all the physical attributes to be one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League and a man that is able to compete against the very best strikers.
He is a bargain for that £38 million that the club have paid for the man – and he should be a player that Mauricio Pochettino can rely on, and a player that could turn out to be a real transfer bargain
