Chelsea have a new star on the block and his name is Ethan Ampadu. The Welsh youngster is yet to play a minute for us this season but he played in two Nations League games for his country.
Ampadu is regarded as one of the brightest players for the national side and his return to Cobham for training saw Maurizio Sarri embrace the player.
The 17-year-old stars mostly as a defensive midfielder but can also start as a centre-back if needed. Given his international form, we should see him rack up some appearances later in the season.

Although Olivier Giroud, N’Golo Kante and Antonio Rudiger were also seen in the clip, a number of Chelsea fans highlighted the meeting between Sarri and the youngster.
The 17-year-old has a lot of potential to become one of the best and with Sarri by his side, the youngster could develop into a quality player.
Chelsea do have a dearth of midfielders but the Welshman is certainly a player for the future.
Some fans, however, wanted the 17-year-old to get more games and here are the best reactions from Twitter.
