Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has singled out defender Josh Acheampong for praise following his side’s UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final first-leg 3–0 victory against Legia Warsaw on Thursday.
Acheampong played the full 90 minutes as Chelsea overcame the Polish side in a dominant performance.
Tyrique George opened the scoring for the Blues before Noni Madueke added a brace for the Premier League club.
Speaking after the game, Maresca said: “I fall in love with Josh Acheampong. For me, potentially, he can be a top player, fantastic player for Chelsea. He can be good in different positions. The best thing for Josh is that he’s open, he wants to learn. Full-back? No problem. What do I have to do?”
Chelsea will host Legia Warsaw in the return leg next week at Stamford Bridge.
Maresca’s side will face Ipswich Town in their next Premier League fixture on Sunday.
