Bournemouth are interested in signing Josh Acheampong, but Chelsea are currently only entertaining loan offers according to reports.
The Blues have been busy this summer, and have already made three signings in Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Joao Pedro.
Chelsea are also working on deals for Dutch duo Xavi Simons and Jorrel Hato, with negotiations advancing for both players.
Bournemouth interested in Josh Acheampong
Chelsea also have a number of players they are looking to move on, whilst a number of their talented youngsters are attracting interest.
Acheampong falls into that category and the 19-year-old was promoted to the first team squad last season along with Tyrqiue George.

The teenager signed a new long term contract last year, but first team opportunities have been limited at this point.
Acheampong is attracting interest from Crystal Palace, and faces a tough ask getting minutes at right back as he’s competing with Reece James and Malo Gusto, whilst Chelsea have multiple options at centre back.
Maresca has stated he wants Acheampong to remain at Chelsea next season, but BBC Sport have reported Bournemouth are interested, although Chelsea are only open to loan moves at this stage, with Acheampong continuing to seek assurances over game time.
Acheampong made four Premier League appearances last season, seven in the Conference League and just one at the Club World Cup.
Chelsea advancing on Jorrel Hato deal
Whilst Acheampong could be on his way out of Chelsea this summer, the Blues are closing in on the signing of a defender.
Chelsea have agreed terms with Ajax star Hato, and are now in negotiations with the Dutch giants over a final fee.

The Blues reportedly want to pay £34m for the 19-year-old, but Ajax are said to want more, with an agreement yet to be reached.
Hato will provide much needed cover for Marc Cucurella at left back, whilst he can also play at centre back, making him a good fit for Enzo Maresca’s system.
