Starts again at right-back
DChelsea
January 5, 2026
Acheampong had three tackles (two won) and two clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Manchester City.
ANALYSIS
Acheampong would once again receive the start at right-back, filling in for Malo Gusto as he covers for an injured Marc Cucurella (hamstring) at left-back. Acheampong is likely to return to the bench once Cucurella returns, only starting in six games this season between center-back and right-back, mainly a rotational option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Palace could move for him
DChelsea
October 4, 2025
Crystal Palace are expected to move for Acheampong in the summer, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Crystal Palace know they might lose Marc Guehi and Maxence Lacroix in the summer, so they need to add defensive reinforcements sooner rather than later. Acheampong is a Chelsea prospect who has his path at regular playing time block, so he might be available via transfer if the Eagles offer enough money for the defender.
