Josh Acheampong continues to make waves in Chelsea’s defence, playing a pivotal role in the club’s 1-0 victory over Djurgarden in the second leg of the Europa Conference League semi-final.
At just 19 years old, Acheampong, who made his professional debut last season, has flourished under the guidance of new manager Enzo Maresca. The young defender took to the field at Stamford Bridge, showcasing his growing confidence on a prestigious stage.
Acheampong expressed his gratitude towards Maresca for the manager’s unwavering support. “He gives me a lot of confidence, so every time I get on the pitch, I want to repay him and try my best,” he said.
The Ghanaian talent also reaffirmed his love for the club, stating, “I love the club, so as long as I can stay here my whole life, I will do it.” Acheampong committed his future to Chelsea last December with a long-term contract running through 2029.
His professional journey began in May 2024, when he made his Premier League debut against Tottenham, just days before his 18th birthday.
