We think of Ben Jacobs as a Chelsea focused journalist, but he’s out there all the time making connections. He was on The United Stand (a Man U podcast) speaking about the potential of Blues youngster Josh Acheampong heading to Old Trafford this summer.
Acheampong interest could grow if Chelsea don’t convince him
“A more right-sided option [for Man U] is Josh Acheampong, who Chelsea have always said, he is just not for sale. And I am led to believe that’s a genuine stance,” Jacobs said.
“But Acheampong, who is also on the radar of Manchester City, is going to have to understand heading into the new season under a new manager, how often is he going to play?
“Because Chelsea are looking to sign another new starting centre-back. Maybe, if Alonso reverts to his favoured back-three, Acheampong gets more opportunities, maybe he doesn’t.”
“So, Chelsea’s perspective is he’s pretty much untouchable, but information is that the player would be interested in exploring options if he feels he is not going to be getting regular game time next season.”
