Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu spent last season on loan at RB Leipzig but according to Goal, the 19 year old Wales international is likely to stay at Stamford Bridge to fight for his place next season.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is understood to be a huge fan of the 19-year-old and it is believed Lampard could be open to keeping the player at Chelsea next season.

While Lampard is open to Ampadu staying at Chelsea next season, the situation is subject to change with a host of major transfer targets being pursued in the market.

The 19 year old defensive midfielder can also play as a centre-back and his versatility could be important for Lampard next season.
