Transfer talk surrounding Josh Acheampong is intensifying, with reports suggesting Crystal Palace are monitoring the Chelsea defender closely. The player has caught the attention of several scouts as other clubs prepare for a potentially active transfer window. Crystal Palace are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Bournemouth and Manchester City are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Crystal Palace's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.5 goals per game (3 in 6). Josh Acheampong would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Speculation continues to connect Chelsea with Michael Olise, Dusan Vlahovic and Mikel Jauregizar Alboniga while no fresh rumours surround Crystal Palace. Looking for Crystal Palace transfer rumours?
