Bayern Munich showing interest in Chelsea player who will surely ask to leave

Bayern Munich are showing solid transfer interest in signing Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong this summer.

And I’d not be at all surprised if the youngster now pushes to leave Chelsea and asks if he can go this summer, because he is being treated horribly here at the club right now.

The Chelsea academy graduate is just not trusted by head coach Liam Rosenior, who is not handing him hardly any minutes right now.

Yesterday was another smack in the face for the youngster, bringing him on for a measly 5 minutes at the end of a 3-0 thrashing by Manchester City, almost like Rosenior just used him as a time wasting sub for some odd reason.

Bayern looking at Acheampong

Bayern reporter Christian Falk is reporting that Acheampong is on Bayern’s radar, but they are not currently pursuing him aggressively.

However, the situation could evolve in the summer, particularly if Kim Min-jae decides to leave. In that scenario, Bayern would need to enter the market for a centre-back, and Acheampong could emerge as a viable option.

Head coach Liam Rosenior is nowhere near good enough to manage Chelsea, that should be clear by now. But he’s been doing his best to react to the City defeat yesterday, claiming that they have big plans for the summer transfer window.

The Blues boss also holds himself accountable for the defeat yesterday, as he should do being the manager. But it’s also clearly on this ownership who have built a squad that is FAR from good enough.
