Bayern Munich are interested in Josh Acheampong and are considering whether to move for the Chelsea defender this month. Chelsea remain intent on keeping the 19-year-old and have had no contact from Bayern but that has not stopped a host of clubs in England and Europe from tracking the youngster’s progress. Bournemouth had a loan offer rejected last summer and Crystal Palace, who have just sold Marc Guehi to Manchester rity, are monitoring Acheampong. City showed furtive interest in the England Under-21 international last summer. Acheampong is regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in England and his ability has caught the eye of Bayern, who are planning a defensive rebuild this summer.

Key Highlights

  • The Bundesliga champions could need additions if they lose Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae.
  • Bayern are looking hard at Acheampong and despite being prepared to wait until the summer before making their move they have not ruled out an attempt to sign him before the end of the current transfer window. Chelsea have not received an official bid for Acheampong and sources at the club have repeatedly stressed that they want to keep the versatile defender.
  • Acheampong is a product of the club’s academy and has played at right-back, centre-back, left-back and defensive midfield.
  • He has made 17 appearances in all competitions this season and excelled against Alexander Isak and Jean-Philippe Mateta. However Chelsea have plenty of competition for places in central defence and playing time is a consideration for Acheampong, whose contract expires in 2029.
  • His opportunities may be limited if Chelsea press ahead with a deal for the Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet.
