Crystal Palace Weigh Move for Chelsea Teen Josh Acheampong After Guehi Exit

No formal talks have taken place, leaving Chelsea’s stance on a loan or sale this month unresolved.

Overview

  • Sky Sports reports the 19-year-old defender is on Palace’s shortlist as they evaluate options to reinforce their back line.
  • Chelsea’s injury situation and Liam Rosenior’s recent use of Acheampong complicate any decision to let him leave in January.
  • Acheampong has 31 senior appearances and offers versatility across centre-back, right-back and midfield.
  • Palace and Chelsea have an established transfer pathway, with past deals including Marc Guehi and Conor Gallagher.
  • Reports note Acheampong is contracted long term at Stamford Bridge, a factor that could influence pricing and availability.
