Ex-Chelsea defender Ampadu happy with Leeds choice

Ethan Ampadu feels he's landed on his feet at Leeds United.

The Wales utility left Chelsea over the summer for the Championship club.

Ampadu said: "I'm enjoying being settled.

"I gave my all in each of the loans and I was focused on developing and becoming a better player.

"But maybe in the back of your mind when you know you are settled somewhere and you're not on loan, there are little things you can improve on.

"If you are playing in one position, you can work on the finer little details within that position to take you to the next level.

"If you'd asked me this last year, I probably would have said centre-back because that's where I was playing.

"But that was before I joined Leeds and hearing what Farke wants me to play like, his style of play, that's what attracted me and the reason I went there so I'm enjoying the role I'm playing.

"And with the history of the club, we know on the outside where everyone wants us to be.

"You feel the history and the pressure of the club but it's exciting knowing what you can achieve.

"Everyone wants to achieve promotion and win things."
