Ethan Ampadu talks about leaving Chelsea, joining Leeds United, and his top priority for Wales: success.
This summer, the Wales star signed a contract with Leeds Unite
Ethan Ampadu thinks that the decision to leave Chelsea was made at the correct time and that he has no regrets about his tumultuous career path.
This summer, the Welshman left Stamford Bridge after six years and moved to Leeds United for an estimated £7 million.
He has so far established himself as a key player in the early going of the season, appearing in each of Leeds’ five games under manager Daniel Farke, who will undoubtedly be trying to orchestrate a return to the top tier despite a shaky start that has produced one win and three draws.
“I feel good,” 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.
“The results have not really gone our way so far but our performances and what we have shown, it’s easy to say we should have won this game or that game, but our performances are what has given us the belief for the games coming up after the international break that we can do really well.”
The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino and the huge level of upheaval on and off the pitch may have prompted some to wonder whether the former Exeter City starlet might finally get a meaningful look-in at Stamford Bridge. However, having been largely overlooked by five previous managers, he feels a new chapter was sorely needed for him to kick on.
