Highly-rated 16-year-old Welsh defender Ethan Ampadu has secured a dream move to Premier League champions Chelsea from Exeter, the English fourth-tier side announced today.
Ampadu, who trained with the Wales squad ahead of their Euro 2016 campaign, played 13 times for Exeter last season after becoming their youngest ever debutant aged 15.
He has been capped at under-17 and under-19 level. Exeter will not receive a transfer fee as Ampadu had yet to sign scholarship forms but are entitled to compensation, which they hope will be agreed in amicable fashion.
Meanwhile, Premier League champions, Chelsea have unveiled their kit for the 2017/2018 season which kicks off in August.
Chelsea will be wearing Nike jerseys next season after ending their long-term relationship with Adidas at the end of last season.
