Departing Sheffield Utd defender Ethan Ampadu unsure about Chelsea future

Departing Sheffield United defender Ethan Ampadu is unsure about his future at parent club Chelsea.

During Ampadu's stint at the relegated Premier League outfit, the Blues brought in Tuchel as their new boss to replace Frank Lampard.

Ahead of Chelsea's Champions League final showdown with Manchester City in Porto this weekend, Ampadu says he has not spoken to Tuchel yet with his Bramall Lane progress monitored by loan player technical coach Carlo Cudicini.

Ampadu said: "Hopefully this can be a big summer for me. I've been speaking to Carlo this year but I haven't spoken to Tuchel because they are concentrating on the Champions League final and I wish them all the best for that.

"My future is not a distraction. I haven't been thinking about what could happen next year. If you perform to a good level that might change things. I just have to concentrate on Wales for now. I will have discussions with Chelsea after the summer."
