Chelsea have no plans to sell Josh Acheampong, despite interest in the defender from Manchester United, according to journalist Ben Jacobs.
Jacobs said about Acheampong on The United Stand: “Murillo has been discussed in the past.
“A more right-sided option, Josh Acheampong, who Chelsea have always said, he is just not for sale. Period.
“And I am led to believe that’s a genuine stance.
“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.”
