Bayern Munich now want to sign ‘fantastic’ Chelsea youngster and give him first team minutes straight away

Bayern Munich reportedly aims to sign Chelsea’s highly regarded young talent, Josh Acheampong, and integrate him into their first team immediately.

Chelsea faces increasing concerns about retaining the promising players emerging from their Cobham academy. Reports suggest a growing lack of trust within the academy regarding the pathway to the senior squad. As a result, some of Chelsea’s brightest prospects have already left the club.

For example, Rio Ngumoha recently joined Liverpool and has already been seen training with their first team, preparing for a transition to Premier League action.

Currently, Chelsea is struggling to secure long-term commitments from their academy stars, with Josh Acheampong being a notable case. The young right-back has reportedly been sidelined from all Chelsea activities after declining to extend his contract. He last appeared for the club in September, coming off the bench during a Carabao Cup match against Barrow. Since then, he has not featured for Chelsea at any level.

Acheampong’s potential has attracted attention from top European clubs, with Bayern Munich showing serious interest. According to Felix Johnston, the German giants are willing to offer the player immediate first-team opportunities, making them an attractive option for the talented defender. Meanwhile, Chelsea is reportedly intensifying efforts to resolve the situation and avoid prolonging the standoff.
