Ampadu needs to decide whether he has a future at Chelsea, says Giggs

Wales manager Ryan Giggs believes it is time for Ethan Ampadu to decide whether he wants to stay and fight for more minutes at Chelsea or move on to a club where he would be guaranteed more first-team action.

Ampadu, 19, made his Wales debut in 2017 and has gone on to become a key part of Giggs' defence.

At club level, however, the centre-back has struggled for regular playing time, making just 12 appearances for Chelsea since moving to Stamford Bridge from Exeter at the age of 16.

A loan spell at RB Leipzig last season also failed to provide Ampadu with much-needed matches, and the arrival of Thiago Silva at Chelsea threatens to push him further down the Blues' pecking order.
