Bournemouth is interested in Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong to bolster their defense after losing key players. Bournemouth's £26 million bid for Lille's Bafodé Diakité was rejected, prompting their interest in Acheampong. Although Chelsea is not ready to sell, they might consider a loan move. Acheampong, who made his Chelsea debut in May 2024, signed a new contract until 2029 after resolving a contract impasse. He played in both the Premier League and UEFA Conference League, but seeks more game time assurances.
