According to talkSPORT, Paul Mitchell could make a late move for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi if a deal for Marc Guehi can not be rekindled.
This comes from Alex Crook, who reports that Disasi is an option, perhaps on loan, that may be explored now fellow alternative Mohamed Simakan is on his way to Saudi side Al Nassr.
It’s hard to know if this is lazy reporting on deadline day or a genuine alternative that’s one to watch ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline, but it is worth noting that Mitchell signed Disasi for Monaco during our sporting director’s time in France.
Mitchell oversaw his €13m switch from Reims to Monaco back in August 2020 and has since seen the France international complete a £39m switch to Stamford Bridge last summer.
The 26-year-old, who can also play at right-back, has had a mixed first season in England and has been tipped to leave after missing out on Enzo Maresca’s matchday squads in their opening two Premier League games.
