Speaking on the Transfer Insider podcast , journalist Pete O’Rourke provided an update on Chelsea and their pursuit of Leeds United midfielder Ethan Ampadu. O’Rourke said,

“It’s probably wishful thinking from the Chelsea side of things that they could bring Ethan Ampadu back to the club.

“He’s a key man at Leeds, so I don’t think Leeds will be even thinking of letting Ampadu go at any stage in the near future.

“He’s club captain, he’s one of the first names on the team sheet for Daniel Farke and he’s become a big fan’s favourite at Elland Road as well.

“And look, he only recently he signed a new contract to extend his stay in Yorkshire until 2030, so Leeds are not planning on losing Ethan Ampadu any time soon.

“I don’t think the club would consider letting him go either so yeah I don’t think anything is in that stuff that maybe Chelsea could bring him back.”

Ampadu has enjoyed a good run of form at the West Yorkshire club this season as he has managed to produce a string of impressive displays for them in the middle of the park. The English talent has made seven appearances for the Whites in this campaign so far across all competitions.

The 26-year-old is currently one of the most talented central midfielders in the Premier League. Hence, it is no wonder that the Blues are considering bringing him back to Stamford Bridge next year.
