Paris Saint-Germain have escalated interest in Josh Acheampong, as they become the latest club willing to test Chelsea's resolve in keeping their young prospect. The 18-year-old has been involved in an impasse with the London club over a contract renovation, with his current deal set to run out in a year and a half, and the player now going on three months without being used in the first team.
That had already spiked existing interest from a host of clubs, led by Real Madrid and Liverpool. Newcastle United, Borussia Dortmund and PSG have also been among those to send scouts to Acheampong's England under-19 appearances, as this has been the best place to monitor his progress. It is seen as a testament to the defender's quality that the underage international side keep calling him up despite the Chelsea situation.
