RB Leipzig have confirmed defender Ethan Ampadu will return to Chelsea this summer transfer window.
However, despite his impressive performances at the Bundesliga outfit, Leipzig chief Markus Krosche that Ampadu will be making the move back to Chelsea when the summer arrives.
He told BILD: “The loan contract expires without an option. “It’s been discussed that he will go back to Chelsea.”
Ampadu recently admitted that he is hoping to resume his career back at Stamford Bridge, speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: “It’s my club, always has been and it will always be my home in football. It is great to see that [the other young players] are doing so well.
“They all have great talent and deserve every minute they get pitch time. It shows that young players under a young manager who believes in them can be successful in the Premier League.
“I’m in touch a little [with the other young players], and it’s been a great season for some of the younger players because the manager has shown such faith in them and so far, it’s turning out well. “It points to an exciting future for the club. But my focus is at Leipzig until May and then the European finals with Wales.”
Ampadu has not had many games in the Bundesliga but has been impressive on his outings, and if Chelsea are still looking to improve that back-line, there is no harm in having him the squad next season is there? But Chelsea will still need to delve into that transfer kitty in order to sign a big time defender.
