Up to the player. 👀
Disasi’s current situation at Chelsea
Disasi, who joined Chelsea in a £38.5m move from Monaco back in August 2023, has🌳 struggled under Enzo Maresca so far this season.
Since the turn o📖f the year, Disasi has picked up j🏅ust 13 minutes of Premier League football, coming off the bench against Wolves.
Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Yellow cards | Red cards | Minutes |
Conference League | 6 | 1 | 2 | 2 | – | 509′ |
Premier League | 6 | 1 | – | 1 | – | 364′ |
UECL Qualifiers | 2 | – | – | – | – | 168′ |
EFL Cup | 2 | – | – | – | – | 153′ |
FA Cup | 1 | – | – | – | – | 90′ |
Total | 17 | 2 | 2 | 3 | – | 1.284′ |
However, the France international did play the f𝓡ull 90 minutes in th🉐e FA Cup win over Morecambe back in January.
Trevoh Chalobah’s re🌊call from his loan spell at Crystal Palace is likely t𓆏o push Disasi further d🐼own the pecking order at Chelsea.
TBR Football sources have confirmed that Chelsea are currently stal꧃ling in talks wit🌃h Villa over Disasi, which in turn has left the player unhappy.
Disasi could do with a change of scenery and T🏅ottenham wouldn’t be a bad place for him to try and﷽ kickstart his career once again.
