Axel Disasi could be set to depart Chelsea before the end of the January transfer window after agreeing personal terms with Aston Villa.

Unai Emery is known to be a huge fan of the Portuguese, who he has already tried to sign on several occasions as Villa boss. Last summer, he came close to landing Felix, but a move didn't materialise in the end as the forward was used in Atletico Madrid's deal with Chelsea to sign Conor Gallagher.

The 26-year-old can play at centre-back and right-back, but even amid Chelsea’s injury worries in the former position has been overlooked in favour of Trevor Chalobah, who was recalled from his loan at Crystal Palace earlier this month.
