15-Second Brief
Interest from top European clubs in Josh Achiempong has raised alarms at Chelsea. The 20-year-old defender has not yet become a regular starter, but Xabi Alonso counts on him, and the London club has no plans to let him go.

Chelsea are worried about the ongoing interest from European clubs in defender Josh Achiempong. According to AS, the 20-year-old Englishman continues to attract attention from several potential buyers.

Previously, Achiempong has been linked with Liverpool and Real Madrid, but Chelsea regarded the academy graduate as untouchable and had no plans to entertain his sale. Bayern Munich has also been mentioned as showing interest in the defender.

Although Achiempong has yet to secure a regular spot in the starting XI, the club's stance remains unchanged. Xabi Alonso sees the English youth international as an important part of his plans for the current season.

However, the situation could become complicated by Chelsea's performance. Recently, Alonso's side suffered a 3-0 defeat to Brentford and, after five matches, they have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, with 12 goals conceded.

Currently, discussions regarding Achiempong are mere speculation, with no information about negotiations or offers for the defender.
