Josh Acheampong preparing to leave Chelsea?

Chelsea graduate Josh Acheampong is reportedly contemplating his future at the Blues amid his lack of regular playing time.

The centre-back is one of the most promising talents from the academy but he has yet to become an integral part of the first-team.

Acheampong had plenty of minutes under former boss Enzo Maresca, but he has hardly played since Liam Rosenior took charge.

It is now reported that he is assessing his future at the west London giants and could be open to pursuing a new challenge elsewhere.

Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento opted for a similar solution to progress in their careers and Acheampong could go the same route.

Chelsea are unlikely to let him go on the cheap and they could demand at least 45 million pounds to part ways with his services this summer.

The Blues are preparing for another summer spending spree but are unlikely to prioritise player sales before that happens.
