Fiorentina interested in Chelsea’s Josh Acheampong | OneFootball

Fiorentina are already looking ahead to the January transfer market, with the primary objective being the reinforcement of their defense, according to a report from TuttoMercatoWeb.

The Tuscan club’s immediate priority is identifying a new central defender, though this is not their only defensive need.

Versatility Appeals to Viola

According to information gathered by TuttoMercatoWeb, Fiorentina’s primary target for January is 19-year-old Josh Acheampong of Chelsea. The defender, who holds dual English and Ghanaian citizenship and has represented England up to the U-21 level, is a versatile prospect. His ability to play both at the center of the defense and on the right flank is a key attraction for La Viola.

A move is considered possible, with potential developments centering around a loan with an option to buy.

Fiorentina’s interest in Acheampong is part of a wider focus on the Chelsea hierarchy, which has a surplus of players. Another more experienced Chelsea defender mentioned as a potential target is center-back Axel Disasi (27).
