Ethan Ampadu is attracting interest from the likes of Derby County and Aston Villa as Chelsea consider giving him a loan move after struggling for game time under Maurizio Sarri.
The 18-year-old made seven appearances under Antonio Conte last season after signing for Chelsea from Exeter City in the summer of 2017, but he has yet to appear for the Blues this term under their new head coach.
Having signed a new five-year contract in September, Goal understands Ampadu could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January, with Championship clubs Derby and Villa interested in utilising their Chelsea connections.
