Acheampong, 19, has come up through the ranks at the Blues and scored one goal in 31 games across all competitions for the senior team. That lone strike has come in 17 matches across all competitions this season.

Contracted to Stamford Bridge till 2029, Acheampong could be on the move to Palace this transfer window, as per Sky Sports. However, whether the teenager goes out on loan or permanently remains to be seen as the Blues are struggling with injuries in their backline.

Under the new boss Liam Rosenoir, who took over from Enzo Maresca this month, Acheampong has started two domestic cup games (FA Cup third round, EFL Cup semi-final first leg) and came off the bench in 2-0 win against Brentford last weekend in the Premier League.
