Wales coach Chris Coleman has no doubts about the potential of Chelsea youngster Ethan Ampadu.

Just 17, Ampadu has made his debut for Chelsea and Wales this season.

"Ethan's capable of playing both," Coleman said of playing Ampadu in defence and midfield.

"His frame, athleticism and understanding of the game, he's a great communicator for someone so young.

"So at the moment it (best position) is a tough one to call. He could end up playing holding midfielder or as a centre-back.

"He's got a long way to go before you can liken him to someone like Rio Ferdinand, but I remember him coming on at West Ham in midfield.

"But he gravitated into a centre-back, probably the best the Premier League has seen in the last 20 years.

"You never know what's going to happen in the future, but Ethan is definitely capable of playing both positions.

"The modern day centre-back starts play and has to be confident in possession and Ethan can do that."
