Blackburn Rovers defender Tom Atcheson has been linked with a move away from the club.

Tom Atcheson attracts Premier League interest

It remains to be seen whether Chelsea decide to return for him in the coming windows. They could use more defensive depth, and Atcheson would be a solid long-term acquisition. He is a young player with a lot of potential, and Chelsea could groom him into an important first-team player.

Meanwhile, clubs like Liverpool have also made enquiries for the defender ahead of the transfer deadline. It seems the 19-year-old defender could be in demand. Blackburn will not want to lose a talented youngster like him easily, and they could demand a premium.
