Venezia defender Ethan Ampadu unsure of Chelsea future

Venezia defender Ethan Ampadu admits he's unsure of his future parent club Chelsea.

Ampadu is on a season-long loan with Venezia in Italy and impressed with an assist in the 3-2 win over Jose Mourinho's Roma last Sunday.

But Ampadu, 21, on Wales duty ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Belarus, said: "They're always watching the games and giving you feedback. Someone has even managed to come out and watch a game.

“You still get all the feedback because at the end of the day you're still a Chelsea player even though my focus is on Venice.

"Everyone wants you to develop and be a better player so you have that help as well.

"My focus is on doing as well as I can with Venezia and seeing where that takes me this summer."

So where will he be next season then?

Ampadu, who has also had loan spells at Leipzig and Sheffield United, added: “I'm not too sure yet. Obviously I want to be the best I can be after this loan wherever that is.

"But you can't get to that point without focusing on the present."
