Chelsea respond as Man City join race to sign Enzo Maresca favourite
Manchester City are among a number of Premier League clubs reportedly interested in signing one of Enzo Maresca's favourite Chelsea stars. Chelsea have gone into the 2025/26 season as one of the favourites for the Premier League title following their Club World Cup triumph in the summer. But they haven't got off to the best of starts, being held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace in their opening game on Sunday, with the Eagles arguably the better side at Stamford Bridge. While they have spent another £241million on new signings, Maresca is dealing with an injury crisis in defence, with Levi Colwill expected to miss the majority of the season due to a serious ACL injury, while Tosin Adarabioyo is also sidelined. Trevoh Chalobah and teenager Josh Acheampong started against Palace, with the latter impressively holding his own against Eberechi Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Metro's new weekly football newsletter: In The Mixer. Exclusive analysis, FPL tips and transfer talk sent straight to your inbox every Friday – sign up, it's an open goal. This was only the 19-year-old's third Premier League start but the centre-back, who can also play right-back, is quickly becoming a fan-favourite and has even caught the eye of Chelsea's rivals. Acheampong was targeted by Real Madrid last year before he penned a five-year contract with the Blues, while Maresca confirmed over the summer that Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle had made enquiries over the defender. Now, according to The Guardian, Man City rate the player very highly but are yet to make a formal move, while Palace, Bournemouth and West Ham also keen on the England U20 star. It is said that Chelsea have already rejected a loan offer from Bournemouth and are expected to rebuff any other transfer approaches before deadline day on September 1. It is perhaps no surprise to see the Blues adopt this stance given how much Maresca has praised the youngster over the past year, even admitting in April that he had 'fallen in love' with the player. Speaking after the draw with Palace, the head coach said: 'Josh was very good. We showed our confidence in Josh last year as he played some games for us. 'Today he did very well, he dealt with Mateta very well, so overall he had a good game.' Acheampong made 13 senior appearances last season, helping Chelsea win the Club World Cup and Conference League. 87 passes 94% pass accuracy Most ground duels won (6) Most aerial won (5) Most tackles won (2) It is not known whether he would be interested in leaving Stamford Bridge but no doubt he will want guarantees over playing time, something that Chelsea should be able to offer given their defensive injuries. More Trending In addition to Colwill and Tosin, Benoit Badiashile is also sidelined and while Wesley Fofana was on the bench on Sunday, his fitness is always a concern. 'He [Tosin] had a physical problem, we don't know for how long,' Maresca added. 'Wes was on the bench, but he was just on the bench to be with us. The plan was not to get any minutes. And now, hopefully for the next one, we can start to use Wes for more minutes.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

SunSport can reveal the ex-England ace is 'desperate' to complete a move to Scotland before the window slams shut.

That's because West Ham, Brentford and Wrexham are all still tracking the forward as they look to bolster their own front lines. Vardy, 38, has been searching for a new club all summer but has been keeping himself fit with a personal trainer. Sources close to the star say he is ready to play, and still believes he can compete at the highest level for one or maybe two seasons.

A source told SunSport: 'Jamie still believes he can play week in week out and has a lot to offer. 'He's a model professional and is keeping himself in great condition. 'He'd love to move to Celtic and really has his heart set on that move.

Rebekah Vardy throws husband Jamie a surprise party as he leaves Leicester City Celtic would love to add Vardy to their squad and would welcome his experience as they look to go further into Europe this season as well as retaining their title. But Vardy's Premier League experience is also tempting other clubs in England's top divisions. West Ham - who failed to score in their opening game against Sunderland - are one side keeping an eye on Vardy.

They lost on the opening day and will want to bounce back quickly to get their season back on track. Meanwhile Wrexham, who have been linked with the player all Summer, remain actively interested. The Welsh side have started the season poorly, with two league defeats. Securing Vardy would give them a massive boost and would also provide massive commercial benefits. Vardy and wife Becky are believed to be intrigued by the idea of becoming a part of the Wrexham project, which has featured on Disney as a fly-on-the-wall hit show. 8 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
