Could Chelsea lose Josh Acheampong? Acheampong is surely good enough to be playing more often than he has been, with the 19-year-old managing just five Premier League appearances so far this term. There's always bound to be competition at a big club like Chelsea, but central defence is not even a position where Enzo Maresca is blessed with that much quality or depth. Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo have had a lot of opportunities to start for CFC,

While that did not end well, he retained his reputation as one of the most notable sporting management figures in Germany. So when his son Nils Schmadtke burst on to the scene and started working in the same field his father was, there were murmurs of nepotism being at work. Those allegations gained traction when he started getting more and more positions of power in German football at alarming speeds and peaked when he landed the job of Head of Scouting at Bayern Munich.

Liverpool are interested in signing the Guinea-Bissau striker Franculino Dju. The 21-year-old has done quite well for Midtjylland, and he has attracted the attention of Bayern Munich as well. The player will cost around 25-30 million, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool comes forward with an official offer to sign him. According to Christian Falk, Liverpool are very interested in securing his signature.

Tottenham Hotspur have been named as 'one of the best-positioned teams' to sign a top Bayern Munich and Germany midfielder who would deliver an immediate upgrade to Thomas Frank's weak engine room. The Spurs boss appears to go from game to game not actually knowing what his best midfield make-up is, constantly chopping and changing the likes of Bayern loanee Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

Vincent Kompany has gone from strength to strength in 2025. Starting off the year under a certain amount of pressure at Bayern Munich due to an early DFB Pokal exit and struggles in the UEFA Champions League league phase, he has overseen Bayern reclaiming the Bundesliga title, win the DFL Supercup and build up a phenomenal record throughout the 2025-26 season, at the time of writing.

Bayern Munich goalkeeper Daniel Peretz's temporary assignment at Hamburger SV appears to fall in the latter camp. The 25-year-old has only made two appearances all season for Hamburg, both in the DFB-Pokal, while Daniel Heuer Fernandes retains the starting spot he has held for the last four seasons there. Incidentally, the last time he was dislodged it was also by a Bayern keeper, Sven Ulreich, who had left the club in the 2020/21 season.
