Bayern Munich keen on Chelsea youngster Acheampong | OneFootball

Bayern Munich are weighing up a move for Chelsea’s young defender Josh Acheampong, according to the Guardian.

The teenager is among the latest academy talents to emerge from Cobham. He has already been included in the senior set-up.

He made his first-team debut last season and is one of the most promising players at Stamford Bridge.

Bayern consider loan move

Bayern are exploring the possibility of taking Acheampong on loan with an obligation to buy.

Acheampong’s versatility makes him an attractive option for Bayern. They view him as a talent that can develop further in the Bundesliga.

However, Chelsea are reluctant to sanction a move. Manager Enzo Maresca has already shown faith in the youngster and considers him a useful part of the squad for this season.

The 19-year-old has also caught the attention of other Premier League clubs, including Bournemouth and Manchester City.

Acheampong has already been trusted in a competitive setting this season.

He started in Chelsea’s goalless draw against Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, highlighting Maresca’s belief in his qualities.

Chelsea have no plans to allow Acheampong to leave on loan, even if Bayern attempt to push through a deal with favourable terms.
