Lampard and Terry chase Chelsea teenager Ampadu

Derby County and Aston Villa will go head to head over a January loan deal for Ethan Ampadu.

The Chelsea teenager has struggled for playing time this season and the club wants him to leave on loan to gain experience.

Frank Lampard, the Chelsea legend currently in charge of Derby, has already raided his former club for Mason Mount and Fiyoko Timori.

According to the Birmingham Mail, Lampard's former teammate John Terry is pushing for Ampadu to join Villa.

Terry became Dean Smith's assistant when the former Brentford boss replaced Steve Bruce last month.

A full Wales international, 18-year-old Ampadu has seven Chelsea first-team appearances to his name.
