Chelsea rejected transfer enquiries for Josh Acheampong from Manchester United and other clubs, according to talkSPORT, and are now set to offer him a new contract, as reported by The Chelsea Chronicle.

Acheampong has made four Premier League starts this season and has been solid defensively, making 2.3 tackles per game, the highest average in Chelsea's squad, as per WhoScored.

Xabi Alonso has been using Acheampong in the right centre-back role, where he has performed well, notably against Jack Grealish in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Everton.

How we label and update stories

Source context

In terms of both incomings and outgoings, Chelsea did plenty of good business during the summer transfer window. Morgan Rogers is already proving to be one of the signings of the season. Rogers could have been sent off against Everton last Saturday and failed to score or assist, but the attacking midfielder has made a bright start to the campaign overall. Chelsea also did well to sell Nicolas Jackson for £65m and Andrey Santos for £50m. Neither player was going to be a key figure in Xabi Alonso’s squad this term.
