Fabrizio Romano The afternoon update has now been shared chelsea defender Axel Disasi among west ham unitedA bid was made to sign him this month.
The Hammers are reportedly racing to sign Blues outcast Axel Disasi before Monday’s deadline, but clubs from Italy and France appear to have spoiled the party at the last minute.
Although West Ham had previously sought a loan move for the French defender after Romano revealed talks were in the final stages on Thursday night.

Disasi has struggled in Chelsea’s reserves all season and has not played for the first team in more than a year.
The 27-year-old has been training with the Under-21s just to stay match-fit after suffering frostbite under Enzo Maresca, and new boss Liam Rogniol is also not fond of him, despite bringing him back for first-team training.
West Ham United have freed up a loan spot by bringing Igor Julio back to Brighton after just four disappointing appearances. sky sports It was reported on Friday that Irons wanted a six-month rolling loan without any commitment to buy.
However, the move is a bit pear-shaped.
BBC Sport This morning it was stated that Roma are already interested in Disasi, with Lyon hoping to keep abreast of Disasi’s availability, but Chelsea have yet to receive a formal offer from either side.

Unfortunately for Nuno, the biggest threat comes not from Roma or Lyon, but from AC Milan.
Fabrizio Romano shares update on Axel Disasi, with West Ham bid on the table
Romano said in an interview with “X” that West Ham United’s offer for Disasi is still under consideration, but as of now, the central defender has given priority to the Rossoneri.
Compared to another target such as Tyler Harwood-Bellis, Disasi is a very cheap solution with just a loan fee and six months’ wages and zero commitment.
He’s proven in the Premier League and knows English football inside and out. Five caps for France show he has the pedigree too, and his versatility means he can play at centre-back or right-back when Nuno needs a choice.
However, Disasi has also not played regular football in over a year and has struggled with how Chelsea’s children have adapted to the game.
Villa also barely had him on loan last season, which is a worrying sign for Nuno.
It is curious why Disasi was ousted from Maresca at just 27 years old and Chelsea are now desperate to replace him.
West Ham need someone who can hit the ground running rather than someone who potentially needs to recover, so missing out on Disasi might not be a catastrophe.
