- Chelsea also considering move for Brighton’s Robert Sánchez
- Goalkeeper lost his place under Roberto De Zerbi
Chelsea have agreed a £38m deal with Monaco to sign the France defender Axel Disasi after losing Wesley Fofana to a serious knee injury.
Disasi will provide extra competition at centre-back and is due to discuss personal terms before completing a move to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea, who are also weighing up a move for the Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Robert Sánchez, have been forced into the market for a defender because of Fofana’s injury and have moved swiftly in negotiations with Monaco.
