West Ham United have been given a boost after Axel Disasi revealed how happy he is with life at the London Stadium.
The Frenchman spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, before returning to Chelsea for a few months before signing for West Ham on loan in January.

It remains to be seen how realistic it will be to keep DiSasi if the Hammers are relegated, but he has performed well so far and has made it clear he is enjoying life under Nuno Espirito Santo.
This certainly gives West Ham a good chance of making Disasi’s move from Chelsea permanent, provided they can still offer Premier League football next season.

“I had to play, especially in my position,” DiSasi said. “That’s because I missed last season (at Villa) when I was playing out of position.
“The director allowed me to express myself.”
This could be a good move for him, as Disasi says this is his best run since joining WHUFC, but his priority is obviously to continue in the top flight if possible.
Chelsea are no doubt keen on selling the 28-year-old, but it will still be important to secure a good offer for him.
The Blues spent a lot of money to sign Disasi from Monaco, and although he was a fiasco at Stamford Bridge, there could still be a significant return on his sale, which could mean bringing in rival bidders to compete with West Ham for the deal.
