da roleta: Leeds United should move for Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu on loan when the January transfer window opens for business.
What’s the story?
Ampadu made his first-team debut for Exeter City at the age of 15, and went on to appear 13 times for the club before joining Chelsea in the summer of 2017.
The 6ft ace made his Premier League debut for Chelsea against Huddersfield Town last December, and appeared in seven first-team matches for the Blues last term.
A number of clubs were believed to be interested in signing the 17-year-old on loan during the summer window, but Chelsea ultimately decided to keep the teenager.
Ampadu is already too good for Under-23 level, however, and needs first-team football to ensure that his development does not stall in the coming months.
Leeds have started the 2018-19 Championship season in impressive fashion, and Elland Road would be the perfect place for Ampadu to grow as a player in the first half of 2019.
Just how good can Ampadu become?
Well, Ampadu was just a little bit impressive in Wales’ 4-1 win over Republic of Ireland in the UEFA Nations League on Thursday night.

The youngster was handed a starting role in the middle of the park, and left the field to a standing ovation in the 67th minute having put in a wonderful performance.
Ampadu set up Aaron Ramsey for his team’s third of the match, and showed throughout his time on the pitch that he has the potential to be an absolute superstar in the game.
Capable of playing in midfield and at the back, Ampadu really is some talent, and regular Championship football would do him the world of good at this stage of his career.
Leeds will face a battle to convince Chelsea to loan out the Welshman, but the Championship leaders would cement themselves as title favourites by securing his signature.
