Chelsea have a number of quality young players at the club’s disposal, and the Blues have a number of highly rated youngsters coming through the ranks.

One of such young players is Josh Acheampong. Chelsea rate Josh Acheampong highly, but also want him to commit his future to the club.

Chelsea have told Josh Acheampong he will not play for the first team or the development squad ‘until he signs a new contract’, according to a report by The Athletic’s Simon Johnson and Liam Twomey.

Acheampong’s current deal with Chelsea expires in 2026 and there are talks of a new deal; however, it’s yet to be finalised.

Acheampong is a right-back who can also play a centre-back.

Premier League sides Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are said to be monitoring the situation. The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has said Real Madrid could also consider a January move for the 18-year-old.

Acheampong made his senior debut under former Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino against Tottenham in February and was taken on the club’s pre-season tour of the USA ahead of the more experienced Trevoh Chalobah in the summer.

The Chelsea academy product has made just one appearance under Enzo Maresca so far, playing 27 minutes as a substitute against Barrow in the Carabao Cup on September 24. He has not been in the matchday squad since then.
