TRANSFER NEWS: Arsenal in advanced talks with 24-year-old France international

Axel Disasi is a target for at least three clubs in the PL. London rivals Arsenal, Tottenham, and West Ham United are vying for France international, who is impressing at Monaco with consistent displays. The 24-year-old centre-back is a footballer growing in stature and could become another gem Les Monegasques unearthed in recent years.

The French defender has become a key part of Monaco, even contributing admirably in the final third. Disasi has three goals and four assists for Monaco in 24 matches this campaign. While his numbers may show tremendous progress, Axel’s displays in their backline have attracted many suitors from the PL.

Leaping towards England is always attractive for footballers from anywhere. The Frenchman will ponder the possible approaches. Moreover, the attraction of London could prove tempting, and that’s where most of the interest comes from.

Arsenal reportedly reached an agreement with Evan Ndicka. The French defender will become a free agent in the summer, and Arsenal looks like the club is inching closer to bringing him. However, the report insists on their interest in Disasi. There are doubts about whether Arteta will sign another defender on top of his existing pack.

Axel has a deal until 2025, and much like many footballers Monaco have sold in recent windows, the 24-year-old defender will cost huge sums. The English teams certainly have the financial muscle to make such moves happen, although anything in January would be a long shot.
