Aston Villa have completed the signing of Axel Disasi on loan until the end of the season.
Mail Sport reported on Monday evening that the deal was set to be completed but there was still no official confirmation as the transfer window slammed shut at the 11pm deadline.
But the club have now confirmed the news, capping off what has been an active and impressive month in terms of business.
It is understood that Villa have agreed to pay a £5million loan fee to Chelsea. Tottenham had agreed a similar deal with the Blues but twice failed to convince Disasi to move to north London.
