Ethan Ampadu drew comparisons with Rio Ferdinand after making his international debut - and Chris Coleman insists the Chelsea teenager will remain committed to Wales.
Ampadu was sent on just after the hour mark of Wales' 2-0 defeat to France in Paris on Friday night and his composure on the ball belied his tender years.
The 17-year-old has already made his Chelsea debut this season and is equally adept at playing in midfield or in central defence - just like Ferdinand did when he started out at West Ham before making big-money moves to Leeds and Manchester United.
