Chelsea have high hopes for Josh Acheampong under Xabi Alonso...

I think Josh has to improve his defending but that will come with experience. Head and shoulders above Fofana who should be sold. With Palestra to replace Gusto on the pitch we have 3 right sided players to cover each other. Assuming he stays fit and continues to learn, Josh could have a standout season

Am not sure for now that Acheampong is the best for Alonso but in the future he might be

A player doesn't have to fit in the team's plans but has to fit in the coach's plans. So if Alonso says Acheampong is good enough to play for him then it means he is.

This could be great news but I’ll have to see it to believe it. I’m sure Maresca said the same

Josh should play instead of Wes. Easily. Josh's attitude has been too notch despite not playing he hasn't thrown his toys out of the pram, but has knuckled down and got on with it. Wes on the other hand has played regularly but looks like a loser. Josh plays and acts like a winner. I'd like to see us add a Marquinhos type player to aid Josh in developing.

Good to hear. Acheampong deserves far more minutes and starts than many of the senior guys, i.e Fofana...
