Their relegation means he won\u2019t be joining them full time, but his impressive performances for the Hammers should mean plenty of other interest.<\/p>\n<h2>Disasi still has interest in permanent deal for move this summer<\/h2>\n<p>Journalist Santi Aouna today writes that \u201cclubs have already made enquiries\u201d about the centre back.<\/p>\n<p>We would imagine any mid-table team in the Premier League looking for a new defenders will be interested, and Chelsea should be able to get a pretty chunky fee for the Frenchman, who has shown himself to be a capable box-defender.<\/p>\n<p>There is likely to be interest from abroad too, although it will be harder to get a suitable fee.<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>It won\u2019t be all sales though \u2013 Chelsea will also be buying players, and a list of potential additions has been put up already.<\/p>\n<p>All these players coming in, plus a lack of European games next season, means a \u201cmass exodus\u201d of Chelsea players next season. Nobody will object to that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
