Chelsea declares Josh Acheampong untouchable amid United interest

Chelsea has made it clear that defender Josh Acheampong is not available for transfer this summer. Manchester United has shown interest in Acheampong as they seek to bolster their squad, particularly in defense, but Chelsea is adamant about keeping the young talent. The 20-year-old defender joined the Chelsea academy in 2014 and made his first-team debut in May 2024. He has impressed with his versatility and performance in recent matches. Chelsea is under no pressure to sell, as Acheampong's contract runs until 2029, and coach Xabi Alonso is expected to have the final say in player decisions.
