Acheampong came through the ranks at Chelsea’s famed Cobham academy, and was promoted to the first team squad by Enzo Maresca last season.

Chelsea have previously made it clear the teenager wasn’t for sale, with Borussia Dortmund said to have been interested in Acheampong last summer.

Chelsea have no plans to sell Josh Acheampong

Crystal Palace are believed to have tried to do a deal for Acheampong in January, but again Chelsea refused to entertain offers.

However, Chelsea’s words on Acheampong and their actions simply don’t add up, and the teenager has only started 13 games this season.

In fact, ten of his starts came under Enzo Maresca, whilst he’s started just three under Liam Rosenior, with supporters disappointed he was left on the bench against Port Vale.

It’s clear Acheampong isn’t getting the minutes he needs to continue his development, but Football London have reported there’s no plans to sell the youngster this summer, and he remains part of the long term vision.

Acheampong has played well when given the opportunity, but for some reason keeps being overlooked, and Chelsea run the risk of losing another talented youngster, and they’d only have themselves to blame.
