Chelsea might think about selling their young talent, Josh Acheampong, because many teams in Europe are interested in signing him. Acheampong signed his first professional contract with Chelsea in January, but there could be teams wanting to buy him in the summer.
The 18-year-old played his first game for the Blues in their 2-0 victory against Tottenham earlier this month. He’s good at playing in different positions in defense and is seen as one of the best young talents in English football.
Chelsea might want to keep Acheampong for the future. However, because they’re facing financial difficulties, they might have to sell him. They’re worried about spending too much money and breaking the rules about making profits in the future. Selling players like Acheampong could help them avoid that problem.
Chelsea’s Financial Strategy and Interest in Acheampong
Since Acheampong emerged from the academy, Chelsea would see any money they receive from selling him as clear profit for the club and as an improvement to their financial situation.
Chelsea has used this loophole before by selling players like Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Callum Hudson-Odoi in the past year to help with their financial worries.
The Independent reports that many teams from across Europe are keeping an eye on Acheampong’s situation at Chelsea. At least three of the teams in the Champions League semi-finals were thinking about signing him. Reports suggest that Tottenham and Newcastle are also considering buying Acheampong. Who was born in London and has been part of Chelsea’s academy since he was eight years old.
Summer Changes at Chelsea
This summer, Chelsea is expected to make some changes, potentially selling some of their top players to improve their finances. This is especially true if Mauricio Pochettino’s team doesn’t qualify for European competitions, as they won’t earn extra money from them.
Midfielder Conor Gallagher is rumored to be moving to Tottenham. Like Acheampong, if they sell Gallagher, it would be pure profit for Chelsea. Other players like Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah are also attracting interest from other teams. If Chelsea sells them, it would also bring in pure profit for the club.
