Chelsea are still expected to part ways with Axel Disasi at the end of the season, and Fulham are waiting for a decision to be made by the Blues before deciding on making a move for him.
The Frenchman has enjoyed a return to regular action since moving on loan to West Ham in January, and has played a big part in them moving outside of the relegation zone.
Disasi has more clean sheets at West Ham than Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea have managed, as the Blues continue to struggle at the back in the absence of Levi Colwill.
Chelsea are reportedly set to tweak their transfer strategy and sign more experienced players!

While the Hammers will no doubt be interested in a permanent deal for the defender if they manage to stay up, Fulham have also been mentioned as a side interested in a deal.
However, sources close to the club told iNews that their desire to strike a deal will depend on how much Chelsea are going to ask for from their West London rivals.

He said: “The club are still in the mix for Disasi, but that depends on how much Chelsea would want for him.”
“However, Calvin Bassey is very likely to stay and there is a desire to keep Ryan Sessegnon, especially as Antonee Robinson hasn’t been great this season.”
The Blues were always going to be hopeful of recouping a large amount of the £39m transfer fee they paid for the Frenchman, however will struggle to get near that.
Who are we choosing? Liam Rosenior? Or one of these TWO 👀

After spending half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, it has been reported that the Europa League semi-finalists are keen on bringing him back to the club.
The news comes at the same time that Chelsea are strongly linked with a move for Morgan Rogers, however would be expected to pay close to £100m to get that deal done.
Chelsea can try and get some of that money off the deal by offering a swap, also allowing Disasi the chance to play European football again.
Villa are very likely to finish in the top five this season, and even if they don’t are just two rounds of the Europa League away from qualifying for the Champions League that way.
