Leeds United have been linked with a move to sign Axel Disasi.

Despite survival having already been achieved, Daniel Farke will still have full focus on ensuring that Leeds have a strong end to the season.

With that said, work will have already started behind the scenes at Elland Road ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Whites in need of some new quality.

Bolstering the attack will be a priority for Leeds, who have relied on Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor to score the goals, though Farke is unlikely to turn down the opportunity to strengthen elsewhere.

And after West Ham’s defeat against Arsenal, Leeds may have a clear route to sign Disasi this summer.

West Ham relegation would confirm Axel Disasi’s future

Disasi was linked with Leeds before he moved to the London Stadium, where he has since played an integral role in their 2026 revival.

However, it very much looks to be a case of too little too late for the Hammers, who could find themselves four points adrift of safety if Tottenham beat Leeds on Monday night.

If that were to happen, there’s no chance that Disasi would stick around to play Championship football, having already found himself linked again with a move to Elland Road.

Leeds will certainly be in the market for a new centre back this summer, and the Frenchman may be exactly what they need.

How has Disasi fared for West Ham?

Konstantinos Mavropanos has been the standout performer at the back for West Ham, though Disasi has earned plenty of praise for his role.

The Frenchman has won 65.4 per cent of his defensive duels this season, which places him among the top 28.9 per cent of centre-backs in the Premier League.

Disasi has had a hand in five clean sheets for the Hammers, having only played 12 times for them in the top flight since arriving on loan.

An 86.6 per cent pass accuracy demonstrates his composure on the ball, while his 100 per cent dribble completion showcases his ability to bring the ball out when needed.

He would be a solid addition for Leeds, but only if the price is right.
