Josh Acheampong, a young defender for Chelsea, has caught the attention of Ghanaian football officials. The country is interested in luring him away from England, particularly with the upcoming World Cup in mind. Acheampong has shown significant improvement in his performances under Chelsea's current coach, Enzo Maresca, and has become a key player for the team. He has started in three out of five games in October and has been noticed by Ghanaian authorities. The Ghanaian team is aware that Acheampong may take time to make a decision, but they are hopeful that their qualification for the World Cup will influence his choice. Chelsea's coach, Enzo Maresca, has expressed his satisfaction with Acheampong's progress and has shown trust in the young player by giving him significant playing time. However, Acheampong is still only 19 years old and has a big decision to make about his future in football.Maresca has spoken highly of Acheampong, praising his improvement and work ethic since he arrived at the club. He notes that Acheampong has come a long way since last season, when he played only 45 minutes in the first game. Maresca hopes that Acheampong feels valued and trusted by the team, and that he is given the opportunity to play in important games like the Champions League and Premier League. Ultimately, Acheampong's decision will depend on his own career goals and aspirations.
