Man United Reportedly Scout Chelsea Youngster Josh Acheampong

The report could force Chelsea to choose between keeping a homegrown defender and letting him join a rival.

Overview

Ben Jacobs told The United Stand on Saturday that Manchester United have scouted 20-year-old Josh Acheampong and that other clubs, including Manchester City, are understood to be watching him.
Chelsea have repeatedly told journalists the Cobham graduate is 'not for sale' and club sources describe him as an untouchable asset.
Jacobs reported that Acheampong would be willing to explore moves if incoming manager Xabi Alonso does not convince him he will get regular first-team minutes next season.
The player has three years left on his contract and made 29 appearances this season, but Chelsea plan to sign a new first-choice centre-back that could limit his playing time.
If Chelsea stand firm the club retains leverage, but a move could offer rivals a versatile, low-cost defensive option and reshape Chelsea’s summer squad planning.
