Chelsea star closes in on loan move to rival Premier League club - as Enzo Maresca deems him surplus to requirements

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi is closing in on a move to Bournemouth.

The 27-year-old Disasi is expected to join on loan and become the third defender brought in by the Cherries after the club made almost £145million in sales from the departure of two centre-halves and a left-back this summer.

Daily Mail Sport first reported Bournemouth's interest early this month (Aug 7) and talks are now advancing.

Bournemouth have sold Illia Zabarnyi, Dean Huijsen and Milos Kerkez to Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Liverpool respectively this summer and brought in Bafode Diakite and Adrien Truffert as replacements.
