Harry Redknapp’s workforce of the week is out, and we’re not stunned there are not any Chelsea gamers in there. We received, however our dour 1-0 victory over Leicester at residence didn’t impress anyone.
There have been actually loads of Chelsea connections in there nonetheless – former Blues Mo Salah, Ola Aina and Declan Rice all made it. So did a participant nonetheless at present on the books, however out on mortgage since a January change:
“I do know Axel Disasi was taking part in at right-back, however I’m placing him [in my team of the week] centrally,” former Spurs coach Redknapp wrote.
“He was wonderful towards Brentford and already appears to be like extra at residence within the Aston Villa backline than he did in Chelsea’s. It’s straightforward to say now but it surely was slightly unusual that Chelsea would mortgage a participant to a top-four rival.”

Villa’s win over a notoriously tough Brentford facet was one other large step for them as they race us for these remaining Champions League spots. Their type has surged because the begin of February when Disasi joined them – they’ve misplaced simply as soon as within the league since then and are on the verge of creating it to the Champions League Quarter finals.
It’s no marvel that, as we coated earlier immediately, Villa are reportedly already keen on signing him completely this summer time. So whereas our sporting administrators could also be patting themselves on the again now for locating a mortgage which has vastly boosted Disasi’s potential sale worth in the summertime – simply think about how they’ll really feel if Villa end above us within the league with the Frenchman a key a part of their revival?
Because it stands we’re 4 factors forward of them with a sport in hand – however with a nasty run in to come back.
