Josh Acheampong set to sign new Chelsea contract

Chelsea are finalizing a new contract for 18-year-old English-Ghanaian defender Josh Acheampong, ending uncertainty about his future.

After initially rejecting an extension and being excluded from matchday squads, recent talks have progressed positively, with the club outlining a clear role for him.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca expressed confidence in Acheampong’s potential and importance to the team. The deal will secure Acheampong’s long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Despite representing England at youth level, he remains eligible to play for Ghana due to his heritage.
