Birmingham's "Aston Villa" is closing in on the acquisition of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, while also aiming for another player from the same team.

Journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is eager to see João Felix, who is struggling to find his place at Chelsea, in his team.

It is emphasized that such a deal is not simple, but U. Emery wants to seize even the slightest chance to lure the Portuguese player if it arises.

The Birmingham club was pursuing the attacking midfielder last summer.

This season, J. Felix has played 20 matches for Chelsea, though only 12 of them were in the Premier League. The Portuguese player receives most of his opportunities in the UEFA Conference League.
