Chelsea's Ethan Ampadu has secured a deadline day return to Italy with the midfielder joining Spezia on a season-long loan deal until 2023.
Ampadu heads back to Serie A after spending last season on loan at newly-promoted Venezia before returning to London for pre-season.
The 21-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge in 2017 for £2.5million at the age of 17, but has struggled for first-team game time as he heads to Italy for a fourth loan move of his Chelsea career.
Ampadu is keen to get as many minutes of competitive football under his belt as he seeks to secure a place on the plane for Wales' Qatar World Cup campaign, with a move to Spezia guaranteeing regular playing time.
