Chelsea FC fans have been handed with an excellent news. It is regarding their highly rated youngster who was involved in tough situation. Now, the situation is fully improved which is a very good news.
The youngster in question here is Josh Acheampong. The 18 year old was involved in a fallout with the club recently. The Blues were keen to extend the player’s contract but Acheampong was not very interested in the new deal.
The Blues told the player that he will not play for the team unless he signs a new contract. Acheampong was linked with top clubs like Real Madrid who were keen to sign him on free transfer. But the situation started to ease since last week.
Enzo Maresca confirmed that the situation is headed in positive direction. He then started the 18 year old in their latest Conference League fixture against Astana. Acheampong had a very good game and was loved by Blues fans.
Acheampong signs a new contract with Chelsea
Earlier the player was tied with a contract running until 2026. This raised doubts for the Blues about the 18 year old’s future. It was followed by club offering Acheampong a new contract and now the extension is finally confirmed.
David Ornstein has reported that Acheampong has signed a new and improved 4.5 year contract with the Blues. This will extend his stay at Stamford Bridge until 2029. This will come as a very good news for all of the Chelsea fans.
Acheampong will be now seen more regularly with the first team squad. He will get more chances to play as there are some problems for Maresca on the right back side. Reece James has been highly injury prone which has created overload on Malo Gusto. Hence, Acheampong will now solve this issue and it will help him to improve and become a first team regular in future.
