Aston Villa have signed centre back Axel Disasi on loan from Chelsea for the rest of the season, both clubs announced early on Tuesday without revealing deals of the deal.

Axel Disasi has joined Aston Villa from Chelsea on loan for the rest of the season. The Midlands giants will pay a loan fee of around £5million for the defender after holding off competition from Tottenham. Spurs were considering a move for the defender too, although they were put off by Chelsea’s loan fee.
