However, he has not been given the chances that he may have expected in the first team so far.

Asked about Acheampong, Maresca told reporters: "I really like Josh. For me, potentially he can be a top player, a top defender for the future. 

“With young players, I have quite a bit of experience and I like to modify them a little bit. 

“Today, with young players; they can change very quickly. They can think they are so good, or so bad, so I think you need to moderate the way they train."
