The news was confirmed exclusively on the Athletic’s website on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. Josh Acheampong was reportedly regarded as the third-choice right-back to captain Reece James and Malo Gusto, but this has not gone well with the defender.
Josh Acheampong was not even named on the bench for Chelsea’s games at Bournemouth and West Ham last month despite James and Gusto being unavailable for selection through injury. He made his professional debut under former boss Mauricio Pochettino against Tottenham in February and was taken on the club’s pre-season tour of the USA ahead of the more experienced Trevoh Chalobah in the summer.
