Ampadu set for Derby or Villa move
Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu is set to join either Derby County or Aston Villa during the January transfer window.
According to Devon Live, both Championship clubs are scrambling to complete deals for the Welsh international in the new year.
Both Villa and Derby have been leading the race to sign Ampadu for some time, with Chelsea now willing to let the player leave in January.
The former Exeter City starlet has struggled with injuries lately, which means he has found game time hard to come by this season.
Ampadu has been unable to force his way into Maurizio Sarri’s plans this season, with game time unlikely to increase throughout the second half of the campaign.
Both Derby and Villa were keen to sign the player over the summer but Chelsea decided to keep him close to the first-team squad in an effort hand him regular game time at a senior level.
