English-Ghanaian defender Josh Acheampong is garnering significant attention from European powerhouses Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.
The 18-year-old Chelsea academy product has shown considerable promise, but opportunities in a packed Chelsea squad have been limited.
Acheampong, who is adept as both a right-back and centre-back, has impressed with his potential.
Despite being compared to recently acquired Manchester United defender Leny Yoro, Acheampong’s limited first-team experience at Chelsea may set him apart from the French prospect.

Both Real Madrid and PSG are reportedly prepared to offer around €15 million for the young defender.
With Chelsea’s ongoing policy of youth development and the potential departure of Conor Gallagher, the club might be open to transferring Acheampong to facilitate his development and reduce their squad size.
Josh Acheampong made his senior debut for Chelsea last season against Tottenham, but his future at Stamford Bridge remains uncertain. As Chelsea remains active in the transfer market, a move away could provide Acheampong with the playing time he needs to advance his career.
