Chelsea have managed to secure young defender Josh Acheampong to a new long-term contract after he made his senior debut, despite interest from Real Madrid.
Acheampong had been banned from all club activities until he committed his future to Chelsea, opening a window for Real Madrid's interest, but tensions have since eased.
The new five-year deal for Acheampong reflects Chelsea's recruitment strategy, showing intent to invest in young talent despite competition from other clubs.
While Acheampong may face challenges breaking into the first team with Reece James and Malo Gusto available, he is now eligible for cup competitions.
