A number of future stars have visited Anfield thanks to Liverpool’s very aggressive approach of bringing in talented young players. Josh Acheampong, an 18-year-old defender whose contract with Chelsea is about to expire, is a target for the club, as confirmed by Miguel Delaney of The Independent. A more general pattern of calculated purchases meant to secure Liverpool’s future is revealed by Delaney’s investigation.
An example of Liverpool’s dedication to developing young talent is the signing of former Chelsea star Rio Ngumoha and Scotland international Ben Doak. These actions, which prioritize long-term development, are consistent with manager Arne Slot’s view of player development through the academy a method he was well-known for when at Feyenoord.

Liverpool is reportedly keeping a careful check on Chelsea rookie Josh Acheampong, according to Delaney, who made this claim in his most recent newsletter for The Independent. When England played the Czech Republic under-20s recently, it is rumoured that Real Madrid and Liverpool observed Acheampong in action. It is anticipated that Acheampong will have a prosperous career despite having already made his Chelsea first-team debut.
Enzo Maresca highly regards Acheampong, who is regarded as one of Chelsea’s best promising talents. Josh Acheampong is a genuinely great guy. I think he may develop into one of the best defenders in the future,” Maresca is cited as saying. Acheampong isn’t going to be able to take Alexander Arnold’s place right now, even though Chelsea thinks highly of him and believes he’s one for the future.
