Nicolas Jackson does not appear to be the only Chelsea star whom Bayern Munich are interested in signing.

While his move to the Allianz Arena is currently being blocked following Liam Delap’s hamstring injury, The Chelsea Chronicle has been told that Jackson could still join Bayern before Monday’s transfer deadline.

If he does, Chelsea could recall Marc Guiu to fill in for Delap, who could be out for a while.

As well as Jackson, Bayern reportedly have another Chelsea player on their radar going into deadline day.

Bayern Munich contemplate Josh Acheampong move

Bayern have shown interest in Josh Acheampong in the past, and that interest does not look to have gone away.

Last November, amid a contract stand-off with the club, it was claimed that Bayern were keen on signing Acheampong.

He has since signed a new deal; however, a report from The Guardian says there are “indications” that the German giants are thinking about making a move for the 19-year-old.

According to the outlet, Bayern could make an attempt to sign Acheampong on loan with an obligation to buy.

With Levi Colwill and Benoit Badiashile both currently injured, it would leave Chelsea light in central defence.

While Acheampong is a right-back, he can also play as a centre-back and started as one in the Blues’ Premier League opener against Crystal Palace.

Chelsea’s stance on Josh Acheampong

Acheampong is a very popular figure among the Chelsea fanbase, rising through the ranks at Cobham. Blues supporters will not want to see the England youth international leave the club, especially so late in the transfer window.

Fortunately, Chelsea are unlikely to sanction any sort of deal right now. As per The Guardian’s report, the Club World Cup winners’ current stance is that their academy product is not for sale.

Enzo Maresca cannot trust the fitness of Badiashile and Wesley Fofana, so you suspect that he would also not be happy if Acheampong was allowed to leave.
