Chelsea have reportedly reached an agreement with Aston Villa over a loan move for defender Axel Disasi. Disasi was left out of the Chelsea squad to face West Ham on Monday night, with Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill preferred in central defence.

Aston Villa have agreed a £5m fee to sign defender Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea. The 26-year-old briefly looked Tottenham bound but he is understood to have preferred a move to the Midlands club. There has been no option to buy included in the deal so any fee to make the move permanent in the summer will have to be negotiated at a later date.

Aston Villa have signed Spanish attacking midfielder Marco Asensio on loan from Paris St Germain until the end of the season, the Premier League club said on Monday.
