Wales coach Giggs: Chelsea defender Ampadu needs to pick one position

Wales coach Ryan Giggs insists Ethan Ampadu has everything in his locker to be a major Premier League player.

The Chelsea defender is currently on-loan with struggling Sheffield United this season.

Giggs says: “In the last two years he's played more often for the national team than for his clubs. Of course, that has partly to do with his back injuries, but he is a top player who is playing more.

"He is now doing well as a centre-back and can also play in midfield. Actually, he should make it anywhere on the pitch.

"He's fine in a variety of positions, but would do better in the long run to specialise in one place. He now seems to be working on that as a centre-back, but then the question is again whether his height of 1.78 meters will not affect him."
