CHELSEA have reportedly frozen out a highly-rated academy teenager until he signs a new contract.
It is claimed the Blues told defender Josh Acheampong he will not play for the first team or the development squad while he stalls over the fresh terms.

Acheampong, 18, is currently tied down at Stamford Bridge until 2026.
According to The Athletic, Chelsea are said to have opened talks over an extension to secure his long-term future at the club.
But with negotiations stalling, he has been exiled from competitive action.
However, his only appearance of the season came as a second-half substitute against Barrow in the Carabao Cup on September 24.
Notably, though, he was not included in the matchday squads for the games against Bournemouth and West Ham last month when both James and Gusto were unavailable.
Chelsea declined to comment when approached by SunSport.

Chelsea ratings vs Liverpool
By Ken Lawrence
LIVERPOOL held on to beat Chelsea 2-1 in a thriller as they moved to the top of the Premier League table.
Mohamed Salah opened the scoring against his former club from the penalty spot after Levi Colwill tripped Curtis Jones in the box.
Chelsea went into the break trailing and it was nearly worse, only for VAR to overturn a second Liverpool penalty after Robert Sanchez’s lunge on Jones.
The Blues came out from the break flying and Nicolas Jackson equalised.
But they failed to hold on with star of the show Jones netting the winner just minutes later.
Here is how SunSport rated the Chelsea players at Anfield.
ROBERT SANCHEZ – 5
Survived a shocker of a challenge on Jones to not give away a pen and never convincing.
REECE JAMES – 6
Got through 53 minutes in first start since last December and will surely shake off the rust.
TOSIN ADARABIOYO – 5
Booked early on for clattering into Diogo Jota and no surprise was hooked for the second half.
LEVI COLWILL – 5
Got away with one challenge against a diving Salah but a no- challenge penalty after hacked on Jones.
MALO GUSTO – 7
Intelligent display and constant threat down the left flank in the first half especially.
MOISES CAICEDO – 5
At £105m and in Chelsea’s biggest test of the season was found badly wanting.
ROMEO LAVIA – 5
Got the nod over Enzo Fernandez from the start but failed to show any urgency.
NONI MADUEKE – 6
Always mobile and was productive playing as a right-sided attacker – giving Robertson a tough afternoon.
COLE PALMER – 5
Deployed in central midfield but struggled to show his star quality and blazed over a good chance just before the break.
JADON SANCHO – 4
Lacked any real spark and unsurprisingly hooked off at the start of the second half.
NICOLAS JACKSON – 7
Picked up a typically mouthy booking but the boy definitely has something – as his fine equaliser proved.
SUBS:
PEDRO NETO (for Sancho 46) – 6
Looked a whole lot livelier than the wide man he took over from.
BENOIT BADIASHILE (for Adarabioyo 53) – 6
Looked a lot steadier than the centre-back he replaced.
RENATO VEIGA (for James 53) – 5
Got stuck in and was booked.
ENZO FERNANDEZ (for Romeo Lavia) – 6
Worked diligently to use his passing to make an impact late on.
CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU (for Noni Madueke 76) – 5
Found it difficult to make his presence felt as the Reds dug in to win.

BIANCA Censori showed off her side boob in a very revealing top, as well as a strange new hairdo, during her trip to Japan with Kanye West.
Model Bianca, 29, put on a racy display in the black crop top and matching high-waisted bottoms as she took to the Ginza shopping district with her rapper ‘husband’ on Monday.

The Yeezy architect also sported a headband over her brunette locks, as well as leggings and heels.
Kanye, meanwhile, wrapped up in a black overshirt and grey sweatpants for the evening stroll.
At the beginning of the month, his former employee claimed that Ye told his wife Bianca that he wanted to have sex with her mom Alexandra, and that she should watch it.
Lauren – who sued Ye in June – was chief of staff at his brand Yeezy.
She worked with the star between 2021 and 2022.
The court documents detailed how Kanye would allegedly regularly wanted to bed his partners’ mother.
Lauren claimed that it was an “obsession”.
She also claimed that Kanye showed her a text message between the rapper and Bianca from September 2022.
He allegedly messaged Bianca on September 28 saying he wanted to have sex with her mother Alexandra, who was visiting from Australia at the time.
She claimed that Ye also showed her another message he was planning on sending to his then-girlfriend – telling her that he wanted her to “watch” them.
Kanye has denied the claims.
STEPPED OUT
Alexandra was seen looking tense after the sex claims were revealed.
She was pictured out in Melbourne in a stylish red and blue dress, completing the look with a white Chanel bag.
Bianca and Alexandra’s relationship was put under the spotlight after the musician’s sordid comments were revealed.
Despite the disturbing comments about his wife’s family, Bianca remains close to Alexandra who has two other children, Angelina and Alyssia.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West's relationship
Bianca Censori was born on January 5, 1995, in Melbourne, Australia
Before her current full-time job, the 29-year-old started a jewelry company called Nylons after leaving high school.
After working as a student architect for three years, she completed a master’s degree between 2019 and 2020 ahead of moving to Los Angeles.
In a radio interview, a childhood friend of Bianca’s claimed that Kanye slid into her DMs on Instagram.
The rapper reportedly said, “Come and work for me.”
At which point she says the designer moved to LA to join his company Yeezy as the “head of architecture” – and has been since November 2020.

THERE’S truly no such thing as privacy for celebrities with many even being ready to pose for the camera while sat on the toilet.
Kim Kardashian became the latest to embrace the cheeky trend when she kept the door open after pulling her leather trousers down.
InstagramTracy Romulus wished Kim Kardashian, pictured, a happy birthday with a photo of her sitting on the toilet[/caption]
InstagramHalle Berry, pictured, celebrated reaching 2 million Instagram followers with a toilet snap[/caption]
Travis Barker shared a photo of his wife Kourtney Kardashian, pictured, on the toilet earlier this year
Tracy Romulus, who is chief of marketing at KKW and Skims, shared a series of photos on Instagram to wish Kim a happy birthday.
She penned a caption gushing about Kim being “the best mom, friend, girl boss” and their funny memories together.
Kim looked all smiles alongside her kids, friends, and on flights but it was the snap of her on the toilet that caught her attention.
“OMG these pics! It’s the peeing one for me lol LOVE YOU forever your ride or die,” she commented.
Tracy’s followers were equally amused by the photo which stood out from the others.
“Never thought I would see Kim vaping or peeing for that matter,” one person wrote.
“Love that toilet picture,” another said.
“Only a close friend could capture pic #8!!!” a third chimed in.
“Only Kim could make a toilet look pretty,” another commented.
Body language expert Judi James said the photograph makes Kim seem more relatable.
“Kim’s pose is actually quite infantile with a cute smile and head tilt and her knees stuck together as though she only just made it to the loo in time,” James said.
“It’s playful but her hands cover her front crotch to suggest she really has her knickers around her ankles, which adds a daring touch.
“But it also looks like a very public answer to the question so many women ask when we see her in places like the Met Ball clad in Lycra top to toe or dresses she has been sewn into, which is ‘how does she go to the loo in that?’
“This looks like her reply and that in turn makes her seem much more self-effacing and relatable.”
However, the trend isn’t new with Julianne Hough sharing a “potty break” with her followers back in 2016.
Kim & Kourtney’s supposed rivalry
Kim Kardashian has claimed it’s a “huge misconception” that she and sister Kourtney hate each other.
They got into a heated argument in season three of The Kardashians when Kim starred in a Dolce & Gabbana show with a similar aesthetic to Kourtney’s wedding in Italy. The sisters seemed to understand each other’s point of view when they discussed the issue in a follow-up episode.
However, watching edits of season three sparked anger again.
Kourtney accused Kim of not being able to handle not being the centre of attention.
Meanwhile, Kim argued that Kourtney had a “serious vendetta” against her that she needed to “dig deep” to resolve.
In the months since the sisters have posted social media tributes to each other.
Kourtney said “people forget” that they are sisters and said a lot of people have fights with their siblings.
However, an insider told The Sun they “barely speak” now unless it’s on camera for their show.
Halle Berry celebrated reaching 2 million followers on Instagram a year later with a candid snap of her trousers around her ankles alongside a glass of wine.
Judi James said the popularity of the toilet pose may have caused it to lose some of its meaning throughout the years.
“The trend of loo posing probably started to make a celeb look edgy, cool, daring and even more emphatically A list as they try to prove they can still look ‘Vogue’ classy while pretending to pee,” James said.
“It also suggests a lack of inhibitions that can be seen as sexy. It reminds the fans that this is a real woman behind all the celebrity goddess front.
“But now so many of them are adopting the look it’s lost some of its daring potential meaning it’s upgrading to being shocking from just sitting on the lid to going full knickers round ankles’ mid pee.
“It’s also a girl-relatable statement look.
“Women tend to do loo trips together and even chat in the loo so this is also a statement of female bonding akin to ‘girl power.’”
Amy Schumer opted for a shocked rather than sexy expression on her face for her toilet photo in 2019.
It was taken while she was awaiting the results of a pregnancy test on the side.
Just weeks later Noah Cyrus threw her hands into the air to take a photo in the background of Tana Mongeua’s bathroom selfie.
Elle Fanning was playful as she donned a gold gown for a snap on the toilet at the Critics Choice Awards in 2022.
Charlize Theron and Winnie Harlow have equally made restrooms glamorous with toilets almost just a prop in the background of their photos.

She is understood to have then set off towards the library in Commercial Street, but then went missing.
The nursing home nurse is mum to a two-year-old daughter.
Police previously released a new photograph of Victoria at a BP garage, around half a mile from Norton Hive Library & Community Hub,
She was pictured on the cameras there at 11.35am wearing a black puffer jacket, camouflage print hat and blue jeans.
After leaving the petrol station, Victoria’s sister Heidi Baker, claimed the mum was seen heading towards the River Derwent.

Her last sighting was at 12.30pm as she walked towards the play park before heading to a path along the water.
Police previously confirmed they were keeping an open mind but there was nothing to suggest any third party involvement.
By Tuesday, October 1, cops launched more search efforts for Victoria.
A police presence was maintained in the area she was last seen, and a Facebook search group was set up to help with investigations.
On Wednesday, the search narrowed in on the River Derwent, after Victoria’s belongings were found on the riverbank.
Drones were also spotted at nearby Malton & Norton Golf Club.
Members of the Facebook group then arranged to meet at the train station and search as volunteers.
Officers today revealed a body was found by underwater search teams at around 11.45am close to where her possessions were found.
Formal identification has not yet taken place but Victoria’s “distressed” family have been told about the tragic development.
Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Fox said: “The disappearance of Victoria has understandably had a wider impact on the communities of Norton and Malton. Victoria’s family and those closest to her have understandably felt enormous amount of heartache since the day she was reported missing, and they’ve previously acknowledged just how grateful they are to the local community for the overwhelming level of support that they have had as a family.
“Whilst today’s outcome is not what anybody would wish for, Victoria’s family have again asked me to express their thanks to all of those who’ve supported North Yorkshire Police and other emergency services in our efforts to locate Victoria.
“They’ve also asked me to ask for time and space for them as a family to come to terms with the information, the news that they’ve been provided with today. And our thoughts remain very much with them at this time.”

THIS is the moment a drug-fuelled sex offender is nabbed by armed cops after allegedly breaking onto Mark Zuckerberg’s £250million yacht.
Video obtained by The Sun shows a speedboat-full of police pulling up to the side of a flotilla of the billionaire Facebook chief’s vessels in San Diego.

Suspect Christopher Gerritt has been arrested by copsyoutube
Officers swooped on suspect Christopher Gerritt, 40 after he was spotted throwing objects into the water.
Gerritt is a known sex offender and was believed to have been on meth at the time of the break-in, US TV reports.
Three of Meta CEO Zuckerberg’s boats – including the £250million mega-yacht dubbed Launchpad – were moored near the California city’s Broadway Pier last Saturday afternoon.
Brit tourist Jonathan Carr, 35, revealed to The Sun: “The police intercepted him, tied up the man’s boat and arrested him.
“Police were fully armed and had guns pointed at him throughout.”
Jonathan, from Brighton, saw armed cops on a boat with their weapons drawn as the suspect approached the yacht in San Diego Marina.
Cops later said that Gerritt had been arrested at the scene for being under the influence of a controlled substance and for violations related to his status as a registered sex offender.
Jon, who works in recruitment and was in San Diego on a business trip, shot video of the dramatic scene on his phone.
He added: “I was taking pictures of his new boat when armed police were called out to stop a man on a small boat trying to gain access unlawfully.
“He pulled up alongside the yacht, but he was seen by bystanders, and police were called out.”
Another witness said locals had spotted Zuckerberg’s collection of luxury ships, which had been in the harbour since September 26.
Pointing at the Launchpad superyacht and a smaller support vessel – called Wingman – Lawrence Cerna said: “It’s nice to see wealth from the outside! I will never attain anything like that.”
The tech tycoon’s main yacht is 387ft long and can accommodate 49 crew plus 24 guests in lavish cabins.
The yacht – one of the most expensive ever built and made by Dutch firm Feadship – includes a tenniscourt, helicopter deck, private cinema, a gym, and a deck jacuzzi.
It was originally commissioned by Russian oligarch Vladimir Potanin in 2018, before being sold to a mystery American – later revealed to be Zuckerberg – earlier this year.
It was unclear if Zuckerberg, 40 – one of the world’s richest men with a fortune of more than £150billion – was in San Diego at the time.
Gerritt was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance and for violations related to his status as a registered sex offender
San Diego Harbor Police spokeswomen
A spokeswoman for San Diego Harbor Police said: “On October 19, 2024 at approximately 2:30 p.m. the Port of San Diego Harbor Police received reports of an individual trespassing on a vessel and throwing items into San Diego Bay.
“Harbor Police officers arrived at the scene and made verbal contact with the suspect, identified as Christopher Gerritt.
“Gerritt was arrested for being under the influence of a controlled substance and for violations related to his status as a registered sex offender.
“Fortunately, there were no injuries reported to either the officers or the suspect during the incident.
“This investigation is ongoing. Further details will be released once the investigation is completed.”
Gerritt was still in custody as of today with his bail set at US$20,000 (£15,400).
Zuckerberg hasn’t commented on the situation.

Cops investigating Yung Filly are reportedly hunting for a second key witnessGettyInvestigators say a second person was with the YouTuber on the night he allegedly raped a womanInstagram9 NewsThe UK rapper was arrested over rape and sexual abuse allegations[/caption]
Officers are now carrying out their investigation into the alleged sex attack that happened in the early hours of September 28.
WA Police Prosecutor Julius Depetro revealed in court that cops still want to speak to a key witness as part of their probe.
He said: “There was another party that was part of the allegation who was in company with this accused.”
It is not yet clear what relationship that person had to Filly and why they were with him during the time surrounding the allegation.
Depetro also said there would be other witnesses police would speak to from other parts of the night.
He paid a $100,000 (£50,000) bail fee and has to visit a police station each day and is banned from contacting the alleged victim.
Court documents have also revealed the moments leading up to the crimes police claim Filly committed.
The alleged victim, a university student, was with a friend in the VIP section of the Perth show Filly was performing.
She was said to have been drinking throughout the night until the early hours of the following day.
Once Filly had stopped performing and the club started to close the young woman is believed to have met up with the social media star.
The woman phoned her friend at around 5.31am – which detectives believe was immediately after the alleged assault, according to the documents.
Seamus Rafferty, Yung Filly‘s lawyer, claims the woman didn’t mention any form of sexual misconduct in the short conversation to the pal.
WA Police Prosecutor Julius Depetro says despite the video, figuring out “what happened within that room will be the issue”.
He also claims prosecutors have photographs of the alleged victim which show a “history of what we say is violent acts”.
Police arrested the rapper in Brisbane, on Australia’s east coast, and flew him six hours back across the Outback to Perth.
Footage showed Filly being escorted through Perth airport with his hands cuffed in front of him on Wednesday flanked by two officials.
Further footage shows the influencer – who landed his own BBC show called Hot Property in 2019 – being placed in the back of a car.

FootAsylum, the Football Association (FA), Heinz and ASOS are among the biggest names to part ways with the internet personality.
One of Filly’s closest pals and fellow YouTuber, Chunkz, whose real name is Amin Mohamed, spoke out about the case for the first time last week.
In a clip posted to Instagram, he said: “Like everyone I’ve heard the reports coming out of Australia.
“While I understand many of you want my reaction on it, as this is an ongoing court case I hope you guys understand that I can’t and won’t be commenting on it publicly, so yeah I’ve just come on here to basically let you know the reasons as to why I can’t. Love.”
The pair worked together on their podcast The Chunkz and Filly Show and were due to put on a live show last week.
The show was quickly axed as organisers Troxy offered ticket-holders a refund.
It comes as The Sun spoke to a mum who has accused Filly of breaking her terminally ill son’s heart after he failed to keep a promise he made to the youngster.
The YouTuber told Mason Greaves, 12, he was there to “support him” and challenged him to a game of Fortnite in a video.
Who is Yung Filly?
YUNG Filly’s rise to fame saw him start out as a social media star.
The influencer got his big break on YouTube before moving into mainstream TV.
Although he goes by Yung Filly, his real name is Andres Felipé Barrientos.
He was born on August 6, 1995, and moved to the UK from Colombia when he was two years old.
Filly then relocated to southeast London during his childhood.
When asked what it was like growing up in the capital, he told Indy100: “I come from the bottom of the barrel…and that’s why I’m so grateful for the position I’m in now.
“My mum definitely shaped me with the lessons she taught me.
“She’s a single mum with three kids, my dad was a s*** dad so she just had to make it happen.
“She did loads of cleaning jobs. My mum worked at Poundland at the time I had some mad BBC series…just getting my mum out of the position she was in was just the biggest motivation.”
Filly is best known for being a member of the comedy group known as The Wall of Comedy.
He is affiliated with fellow YouTuber Chunkz and the pair have collaborated on many videos and tracks.

A TERROR drone attack launched by Hezbollah directly hit Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s seaside residence inside Israel.
Declassified images shared by Israeli authorities show the extent of damage caused by one of the drones that managed to elude the Israeli air defences.

AFPIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed revenge against Iran[/caption]
The pictures, previously censored by the Israeli military, reveal a massive crack in the leader’s bedroom window along with scorch marks on the wall.
It is understood that the flying projectile narrowly missed entering the home because of reinforced glass and other protective measures.
Huge shards of glass were found floating on the water in the swimming pool while other damaged bits from the building were seen scattered around Netaunyahu’s backyard.
But one managed to hit his vacation home in Caesarea – an affluent resort town in the centre of the country.
Footage posted on social media appeared to show an Israeli chopper hunting down what is believed to be one of the drones that was part of the wider attack.
Netanyahu, 74 and his wife Sara, 65, were unharmed.
The IDF said: “One additional UAV hit a structure in the area of Caesarea. No injuries were reported.”
A local resident told Israeli Channel 12: “Suddenly a large explosion was heard and it was not clear to us if it was from an interception or a drone impact.
“It was very worrying; luckily, there are no casualties.”
Another resident added: “It was not clear what was happening, then there was a huge explosion, very strong.”
In a rare video statement posted on social media, a defiant Netanyahu reacted to the attack and said: “Nothing will deter us.”
Filmed wearing a black polo shirt and sunglasses, The Israeli leader added: “We’re in an existential war, and we’re continuing to the end.”
Military commanders believe he was targeted by a revenge strike after his forces killed both Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, followed by Hamas kingpin Yahya Sinwar last week.
Netanyahu alleged that the drone strike was part of an assassination attempt plotted by Iran.
He said: “The agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a bitter mistake.”
He said the attack would not deter him from continuing the war and that anyone who harmed Israelis would pay “a heavy price”.
An Israeli investigation today confirmed Iranian involvement in the attack.
Sources told The Saudi Al-Hadath TV channel: “Officials at the Iranian embassy in Beirut are involved in the assassination attempt on Netanyahu.”
Iranian officials meanwhile tried to downplay the situation but confirmed the drones were indeed launched by Hezbollah.
Although Tehran denied any involvement in the drone strike that appeared to “eliminate Netanyahu”.
Iran has also vowed to respond to any Israeli attack – saying it has “no red lines”.

NETANYAHU’S REVENGE
Israel is now expected to launch a retaliatory strike after Iran attacked the country with almost 200 ballistic missiles targeting the civilian population.
Live footage from Israel showed hundreds of ballistic missiles being shot down by Israeli air defences over Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Air raid sirens blared across the country as innocent Israelis scrambled to take cover in their homes, under bridges, and in bomb shelters.
Deafening explosions have also been heard in the Jordan Valley, which sits on the border between Jordan and the West Bank.
it was an audacious move from Tehran that threatened to push the region into an all-out war.
But in a setback to both Jerusalem and Washington, secret plans showing Israel’s preparation for a revenge strike on Iran were leaked last week.
The alleged documents, marked as “top secret”, are said to contain US intelligence analysing Israel’s inevitable retaliation plan against Iran.
Parts of the leaked document, dated October 15 and 16, reportedly contain satellite imagery appearing to show Israel’s preparation of munitions and military drills, according to the New York Times.
Others describe the assessment of the Israeli Air Force exercising long-range ballistic and air-to-surface missiles – believed to be planned for a potential strike against Iran.
The documents also suggest Israel was conducting covert surveillance on Iran using advanced drone technology.
The Sun is not directly quoting or showing the information from the leaked documents.
Speaking of the intel leak, senior US officials privately acknowledged the documents were authentic, but suggested they were not a comprehensive assessment of Israel’s full retaliation plan against Iran.
They said the documents only outlined the information US intelligence analysts could gather as of the time of the document.
However, US officials told CNN the leak is “deeply concerning”.
Parts of the highly sensitive documents began circulating in Telegram after being posted by an account called Middle East Spectator, The Telegraph reports.
The account claims not to have any affiliations to the Iranian regime – and is said to be managed by a bunch of independent journalists who refer to the Israeli government as the “Zionist Regime”
Although the New York Times reported that the documents have been discussed largely by pro-Iranian groups.

LATEST IN THE MIDDLE EAST WAR
Hezbollah fired a salvo of more than 100 rockets into Israel, killing at least one person and injuring others in the northern region of the country.
Footage shared by the IDF shows a building destroyed by the rocket attack that was launched from Lebanon targeting innocent Israeli people.
Posting the clip on X/Twitter, the IDF said: “Hezbollah fires rockets indiscriminately, and this is the result.”
Israel launched its ground operation in Lebanon earlier this month to weaken Hezbollah and push the terror group away from the border to allow displaced Israelis to return.
IDF has been striking multiple targets inside Lebanon which they claim are Hezbollah strongholds.
Some of the buildings struck were Hezbollah’s intelligence headquarters and an underground weapons workshop in Beirut, Israel claims.
The Israeli military also issued fresh evacuation warnings for civilians staying in Beirut’s southern suburb.
IDF Col. Avichay Adraee said: “You are in the vicinity of Hezbollah facilities, which the IDF will operate against in the near future.”
Israel is now at war with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon – both Iran-backed militant groups.
The IDF have been striking parts of northern Gaza, claiming they are aiming to wipe out Hamas brutes.
But the strikes have also killed scores of Palestinians who were present in the densely populated area.
More than 42,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war so far, according to Gaza-run health centres.
