RB Leipzig apparently faces the engagement of central defender Ethan Ampadu. According to Sportbuzzer and Bild, the 18-year-old top talent of Chelsea FC is said to have already completed a medical check with the Saxons. On the Twitter account “rb-fans” already photos are circulating showing Ampadu in Leipzig.
According to reports, the Welsh national player will be loaned by the Blues to Leipzig for an initial year. Whether both clubs have agreed on a purchase option does not emerge from the report.
Ampadu came to London from Exeter City in the summer of 2017 and played mostly for the club’s U19 juniors. Last season he made the leap into the professional squad and now has twelve appearances for the first team, one of them in the Premier League.
Ampadu can be used in both central defence and defensive midfield and made his debut at 17 for the Welsh senior national team.
His contract with FC Chelsea runs until 2023.
