Leeds United defender Ethan Ampadu insists his time with Chelsea wasn't a waste.

Ampadu ended six years with the Blues when leaving for Elland Road this summer.

He said: "I don't think I can ever look back and wish I did something else.

"I'm in this position because of what I have done. I have been grateful for every loan move I had and all the opportunities I got at Chelsea.

"It's made me the player and person I am today. If you want to stay then you voice that opinion but I felt it was the right time to leave.

"I've enjoyed the step I've taken and I'm excited to see what comes from it.

"I have still got a lot of things to do. I've put a lot into my career in a short space of time but I still feel that I can do and achieve a lot more. That starts here."
