Chelsea rejects offers for defender Josh Acheampong amid high interest
Summary

Chelsea has dismissed several approaches for young defender Josh Acheampong, aged 20. The club views Acheampong as one of their 'untouchables,' alongside players like Joao Pedro and Moises Caicedo, despite the defender making limited appearances last season. Arsenal, Newcastle, and Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring Acheampong’s situation, as well as Bournemouth, who showed interest last summer. Acheampong is under contract at Chelsea until 2029, but it remains unclear if he is seeking a transfer.
