Enzo Maresca has delivered a very good news for Chelsea fans. The news is regarding their talented youngster Josh Acheampong who was involved in fallout with Chelsea recently.
Acheampong is 18 years old English star who has came up from Chelsea academy. He has already played 2 times for the first team in his career. The 18 year old was recently involved in fallout with the West London club.
Acheampong was linked with a move to Real Madrid who are desperate to sign a right back. Chelsea were keen to prevent this from happening and hence wanted to extend the player’s contract.
But, the 18 year old refused to sign new contract which started a tension between the club and the player. The Blues then told the player that he will not be given any chance to play unless he signs new contract.
Acheampong has not played game for Chelsea since 25 September. Despite having problems at the right back position, the 18 year old was not called up to play. Now, there is finally some good news for Chelsea fans who love their young superstar.
Josh Acheampong to finally sign a new contract with Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano has tweeted on his Official X Account that the agreement between Acheampong and Chelsea over new contract is almost done. The Italian journalist has quoted what Maresca had to say in his tweet.
Maresca said that the club loves Acheampong and he personally loves the 18 year old too. The Italian boss further said that they are almost there to sign new contract with the player and Acheampong is very likely to play tomorrow itself.
This will be very good news for all Chelsea fans who will hope that Acheampong soons becomes their regular starter. Over the years many players have progressed through Chelsea’s academy. Acheampong has all the right qualities to become Chelsea regular very soon.
