According to reports, Newcastle is considering a bid for the Chelsea defender.

according to Miguel Delaney of The Independent.

This season, the 18-year-old has already played in the Premier League once,

substituting in the last five minutes of Chelsea’s 2-0 triumph over Tottenham earlier in the month.

Acheampong is primarily a right-back, but Newcastle wants to strengthen their defensive options,

and his versatility and ability to play anywhere across the back four will appeal to them.

It’s uncertain if he would be brought in and loaned out, as players like Yankuba Minteh,

Harrison Ashby, and Garang Kuol have been during the last 12 to 18 months, or if he would be targeted for the fi.

In any case, it’s evident that the team is eager to capture elite young players, as seen by

the fact that recent additions like Trevan Sanusi, who moved from Birmingham to Tyneside last summer,

and Alfie Harrison, who joined from Man City,

have a route to Eddie Howe’s senior team.

Tottenham is a team that is also very interested in signing Acheampong,

so Newcastle may have some fierce competition in their pursuit of the young defender.
