Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has singled out defender Josh Acheampong for praise following his side’s UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final first-leg 3â0 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.
