The youngster is one of the highly rated stars in the Chelsea youth team and has at times had a go in the first team. Following his arrival from Exeter in 2017, Ampadu enjoyed seven appearances at the senior level and was a key player for the youth teams as well as Chelsea’s age-limit teams enjoyed a hugely successful campaign winning several trophies.
With this new deal, Ampadu will be expected to remain at Chelsea until 2023 and the club believes he will go on to have a stellar career at Stamford Bridge. On the club’s official website, Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said she expects Ampadu to become a key player for the club in the coming years.
“Ethan has shown great potential and unbelievable maturity since arriving at Chelsea a year ago. In this short time he convinced a lot of people with his exceptional quality and mentality and we look forward to watching him develop into a key player for the club over the coming years.”
