Telegraph: Crystal Palace seeks to rent Chelsea young player Achimpon

The Telegraph reported that Crystal Palace has launched an inquiry on the loan of Chelsea star Achimpon, which will become the latest short-term cooperation between the two clubs. Both sides have always had a tradition of successful loans. In 2018, Chick joined Crystal Palace on loan and was finally selected for the England World Cup lineup.

19-year-old Achimpen is highly valued at Chelsea. He not only represents England's U20, but also joined Maresca's first-team plan last season. His 13 appearances include his starting experience in the Club World Cup and is regarded as a strong contender for the future England international. Crystal Palace listed it as the primary goal of loan from Premier League competitors this summer, and Charoba and Chilville played for this six-month loan last season.

Achimpen, who can be competent for the central defender and right gate, is regarded as an ideal choice to strengthen Glasner's defense, especially considering that the team will compete in the UEFA Cup for winning the FA Cup. The player himself expressed his opinion during the Club World Cup: "I love Chelsea deeply and I am eager to stay in the team to prove myself." But the final decision is still in the hands of the Blues.

Stanford Bridge has always had successful cases of training on loans. Gallagher, Charoba and Chilville have all experienced and grown through Crystal Palace, while Gee and Cahill's transfer is permanent. Achimpen signed his first professional contract 18 months ago and completed his first team debut 14 months ago. He made 8 appearances last season and started twice in the Premier League, including a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

It is worth noting that Charoba included recall clauses on loan last season, and he was recalled by the Blues during the loan period. Now the 26-year-old England central defender has become Naples' number one target to strengthen Conte's defense in order to meet the need to return to the European war.

At the same time, Crystal Palace is accelerating the transfer of Ajax left-back Borna Sousa and has launched a bid of about £45 million from Portugal Sports central defender Diormand.
