The Guardian reported that Manchester City, Bournemouth and other teams are interested in Chelsea's young defender Josh Achimpon.
Manchester City and Bournemouth both intend to sign Josh Achimpen, but Chelsea is expected to reject any transfer requests for the youth defender. Head coach Maresca admires Achimpen very much and is determined not to let the 19-year-old player go. Despite this, there are still many clubs paying attention to Achimpen's situation.
It is reported that Chelsea recently rejected Bournemouth's loan inquiry against Josh Achimpon, and Newcastle, Manchester City, Crystal Palace and West Ham United are also paying close attention to him.
Chelsea has not received any official offer at this stage and is still determined to retain Achimpon. Last season, Maresca gave him a lot of opportunities. The young defender is capable of multiple defensive positions and has been a compelling performance in the team's win over the Club World Cup this summer. As Colville is absent due to a serious knee injury, Achimpen may get more first-team opportunities in the new season, and Maresca has praised him many times.
