In what promises to be a significant move during the transfer market, Arsenal is on the brink of securing the services of Axel Disasi, a highly sought-after and talented defender. This strategic decision comes as the Gunners aim to fortify their defensive options and intensify the competition for a starting position in their backline, according to sources close to the club.
Last season witnessed Arsenal’s near-miss in ending their prolonged 19-year quest for Premier League glory. The team’s determined pursuit saw them engaged in a fierce battle with Manchester City for the title. However, a series of injuries and a lack of depth in the squad ultimately hampered their performance, causing them to fall short in the closing stages of the season.
Manager Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu are determined to learn from last season’s setbacks and have been proactive in bolstering the squad during the summer transfer window. The arrivals of high-profile talents such as Declan Rice and Kai Havertz have made headlines.
Nevertheless, the Gunners’ focus has not been solely on attacking reinforcements. The recent acquisition of Jurrien Timber from Ajax for a substantial fee of £38 million showcased the club’s commitment to strengthening the defense.

Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba have established themselves as Arsenal’s first-choice central defensive duo. However, the lack of quality alternatives last season proved costly, prompting Arteta to identify Axel Disasi as an ideal fourth option.
Disasi’s exceptional performances during his 49 appearances for Monaco in the previous campaign have not gone unnoticed. Impressively contributing six goals and four assists, he caught the attention of the French national team and even earned a place in the squad for the 2022 World Cup. With a market value of 30 million euros, the 25-year-old is undoubtedly an enticing prospect for Arsenal.
If the deal goes through, Arsenal will not only gain a reliable backup but also a versatile and immensely talented defender to bolster their ranks. As the new season approaches, the anticipation among Gunners fans grows, as they hope that Axel Disasi’s arrival will strengthen the team’s defense and enhance their chances of finally securing long-awaited silverware.
