Ampadu billed as better than Ramsey and future captain of Chelsea & Wales

The Stamford Bridge starlet has seen his potential talked up by Cledwyn Ashford, with the teenager being backed to reach the very top of the game

Ethan Ampadu has been billed as a future captain of Chelsea and Wales, with the teenage midfielder considered to be more talented than illustrious countrymen such as Aaron Ramsey and Gary Speed.

Cledwyn Ashford, the education and welfare officer for Wales U15s and U16s, has seen the youngster emerge as one of the hottest prospects his country has ever produced.

He has a long way to go before he can claim to enjoy a similar standing to the likes of Gareth Bale, but he is making positive progress down the right path.
