Chelsea have confirmed the arrival of the France defender Axel Disasi from Monaco in a €45m (£38.7m) deal. The 25-year-old has signed a six-year contract after the club moved quickly to cover the injury to Wesley Fofana.
Disasi has played 130 times in Ligue 1 and was part of the France squad who were runners-up in last year’s World Cup. The centre-back told Chelsea’s website: “I hope to achieve very big things here. To win titles. I will do everything I can to achieve those objectives. I am very ambitious.
