Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu wins praise for Sheffield Utd form

Wales caretaker coach Rob Page has praised the form of Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu on-loan with Sheffield United.

Before Wales' defeat to Belgium last night, Page praised the Chelsea prospect.

“The thing with Ethan is that he has played anywhere along the back three," he said.

“I've seen him, for Sheffield United, [he's] played on the right, centre, and on the left.

“He can play in midfield as well, so he can play in a multitude of positions. Obviously I'm not going to say where he is going to play if he is going to play tomorrow [vs Belgium].

“But the good thing is that he has a lot of strings to his bow and it is great to have a versatile player like that."
