Ethan Ampadu

This lad is not driving a car yet! He is too young for that. Well, not as young as on this picture anymore (5 years old). His first ride will probably arrive soon, keep following WTFoot for the latest updates.

Hi WTFoot fans! Welcome to our Wiki of this talented center-back from Wales. Ethan Kwame Colm Raymond Ampadu was born in Exeter, a little cite in Devon. He is the son of Kwame Ampadu, a former professional Irish footballer who played for clubs such as Arsenal, Swansea City and Leyton Orient. Ethan launched his youth career at Exeter City, for whom he already played in the under-18 squad at the age of fourteen! And the story gets even more impressive; he made his senior debut in an EFL match when he was only 15 years, 10 months and 26 days old. This made him the youngest ever player of the club. He played only eight games in total for Exeter because Chelsea signed him in the summer of 2017, only one year after his debut. He made his official debut for The Blues in the EFL Cup (again!) on 20 September 2017 versus Nottingham Forrest. And he broke yet another record; he became the first player ever born in the 2000’s to play for Chelsea FC. He made his long expected Premier League debut for Chelsea versus Huddersfield Town on 12 December 2017. Internationally he has chosen to play for the Welsh national team, since his mother is Welsh. He played his first game for Wales at the age of 16 against France (2-0 loss). In a short amount of time he became a regular in the Welsh national team. It’s clear that this lad has a nice future ahead of him. We will keep on following him! Because he wants to get more playing time he, in accordance with manager Frank Lampard, has agreed to a loan to RB Leipzig.
