Chelsea has rejected multiple approaches for 20-year-old defender Josh Acheampong, who holds untouchable status at the club despite limited playing time last season. The England Under-21 international made only 17 Premier League appearances, with nine as a substitute.

Acheampong, a graduate of Chelsea's academy, finds himself in the same category as teammates Joao Pedro, Cole Palmer, and Moises Caicedo. His current contract runs until 2029, though it remains unclear whether he seeks a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth continue to monitor the situation closely. Chelsea's stance on their academy product signals their belief in his potential, even if he hasn't yet established himself as a regular starter in the Premier League.
