Tottenham Hotspur are persisting in their efforts to secure the signing of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi before the January transfer window closes. According to sources, Spurs have already reached an agreement with Chelsea regarding a loan fee for the French center-back.
However, the final decision remains in Disasi’s hands, with the player yet to give the green light to the move.
The North London club has been actively looking to bolster their defensive ranks, and Disasi has emerged as a key target. The 25-year-old joined Chelsea from AS Monaco in the summer of 2023 and has been a regular feature in Mauricio Pochettino’s squad.
However, Tottenham believe they can offer him an important role in Ange Postecoglou’s setup as they push for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
Despite securing an agreement with Chelsea, Tottenham are facing a race against time to convince Disasi to make the switch. The defender has yet to commit to leaving Stamford Bridge on a temporary basis, with indications that he is weighing his options before making a final decision.
Spurs’ Late Move for Marc Guehi Rejected
In addition to their pursuit of Disasi, Tottenham also made a late attempt to sign Crystal Palace center-back Marc Guehi in the last 48 hours. Guehi, who has been a standout performer for Palace, was identified as a top target by Spurs.
However, the South London club swiftly rejected their bid, making it clear that they have no intention of letting go of one of their key players in the middle of the season.
The former Chelsea academy product is under contract with Palace until June 2026, meaning Spurs will likely have to wait until the summer transfer window to revive their interest.
Guehi has become a crucial figure in Roy Hodgson’s defense, and his performances have also caught the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate.
With their bid for Guehi unsuccessful, Tottenham’s immediate focus remains on Disasi. Spurs are keen to finalize a defensive reinforcement before the window slams shut, but time is running out.
If Disasi declines the move, the club may have to wait until the summer to address their defensive concerns.
As the January transfer deadline approaches, all eyes will be on Disasi’s decision. Will he opt to join Spurs and play a pivotal role in their campaign, or will he choose to remain at Chelsea? Tottenham fans eagerly await the outcome of this ongoing transfer saga.
