Arsenal, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace are all monitoring Acheampong's situation, while Bournemouth retain an interest that dates back to last summer. None have been able to progress beyond an expression of intent given Chelsea's firm refusal to engage, reports BBC Sport.
Acheampong came through Chelsea's youth system and made his senior debut in February 2024 before establishing himself as a peripheral but valued squad member. His contract runs until June 2029, giving the club full control of his future.
The 20-year-old has not publicly requested a transfer. Whether he is content to remain in a backup role or seeks assurances of a more prominent part in manager Xabi Alonso's plans for 2026-27 has not been disclosed.
His profile — right-footed, aggressive in the press, comfortable in a high defensive line — suits the tactical demands of several clubs monitoring him. Crystal Palace, in particular, have identified him as a potential solution at right-back as they prepare for their first Europa League campaign under a new head coach. Bournemouth's sustained interest, dating back to the tenure of Andoni Iraola — now Liverpool's incoming manager — reflects a longer-standing admiration.
Chelsea's stance is straightforward. At 20 years old and with five years of contract remaining, Acheampong represents one of their most valuable long-term assets. They have no motivation to sell at any price being discussed and every motivation to keep a player who has yet to reach his ceiling within their own environment.
