​Chelsea await compensation decision on Ampadu

A tribunal will be held on Wednesday to discuss the fee which Chelsea will have to pay Exeter City for Ethan Ampadu.

The 17-year-old Ampadu left Exeter to join the Blues last summer after turning down the offer of a new contract with his former club.

As Ampadu is a product of the Exeter youth development system, and as the two clubs did not agree upon a transfer fee, a tribunal will now be held to discuss the amount of compensation that Chelsea will have to contribute.

Ampadu, who boasts two international appearances for Wales, is a highly rated young prospect and has impressed as he has gone on to make several appearances for Chelsea.

He has, however, been dealt a blow as his season was brought to a premature end due to injury.
