Although Chelsea are not reluctant to move on players that they deem surplus to requirements, 19- year old Josh Acheampong is not one of them.
The 19-year old English defender has struggled for game time, especially since Liam Rosenior became head coach.
Nor is he without his suitors. Bayern Munich tested the waters with a tentative approach for him last summer, only for them to be firmly rebuffed. And Crystal Palace, looking to replace Marc Guéhi, who they sold to Manchester City, enquired about his availability in January.
However, despite his lack of involvement with the first-team, Chelsea are adamant that he is not for sale, and that they are convinced he can develop into a top player. And that is despite the fact that they have made bringing in another centre-back one of their priorities when the transfer window opens again.
