10 August 2024 - 4:34 am

In a recent report, The Independent claimed that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Chelsea prospect Josh Acheampong. Real are reportedly keen on signing the English defender, but could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain.

Acheampong’s incredible rise in English football

Akeem Beng was born in Chelsea’s youth system and made his first-team debut last season, performing well. The British talent has made just one appearance for the Blues’ first team so far.

The 18-year-old has attracted attention with his performances for Chelsea’s Under-21s. He is one of the most promising young players in English football at the moment. His current contract at Stamford Bridge expires in the summer of 2026, so it won’t be easy for Real Madrid to sign him for a bargain price during this transfer window.

Real Madrid monitoring Achim Bong’s progress: Is he a potential future?

Acheampong is a quality striker and can make some important interventions for the team in the half-space. He doesn’t mind clearing up danger when needed and is a good ball carrier too. However, the British prodigy is still very young and will need time to prove his worth at the highest level. However, there is no denying that he would be a good signing for Los Blancos in the long run.

Acheampong, 18, has the potential to become a world-class player one day. Therefore, it would make sense for Real Madrid to bring him in during the summer transfer window.

At the moment, Akeem Bong is not good enough to break into Ancelotti’s starting line-up. However, as long as he continues to improve each season, he has the potential to become a future star at the Santiago Bernabeu. However, only time will tell whether the Chelsea star will make a smooth transition to La Liga.

All in all, there is no doubt that Akeem Bong is a star to watch for the future, so Ancelotti should focus on snapping him up this month.
