Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu admits his loan with relegated Sheffield United was an eye opener.

Ampadu appreciated the action he saw, though he learned how ruthless the game is at Premier League level.

He said, "It was disappointing to get relegated with Sheffield United.

"It was a difficult season but I got so much experience. I have learnt the demands of playing week in, week out in the Premier League and how ruthless it is.

"Any mistake or half an inch given and they score. I was fortunate to play so much and I will try to learn from the hard times and use it as a positive."
