Disasi: Chelsea an opportunity to get out of comfort zone

Chelsea defender Axel Disasi has no regrets over his move from AS Monaco.

Disasi left ASM over the summer for Chelsea, penning a deal to 2029.

"He (manager Mauricio Pochettino) gave me the necessary confidence. He didn't hesitate to put me in (the starting line-up) a week after my arrival," Disasi told L'Équipe.

"When I was in Monaco, I looked towards a move, so I prepared very well during the summer pre-season.

"The league was also very appealing to me… in the long term I knew I needed to come to a club with a bigger status. I needed to get out of my comfort zone."
