Ethan Ampadu has admitted disappointment over his loan spell with RB Leipzig.

The Chelsea youngster has made only seven total appearances for the club, including just two starts.

And it was not what the 19-year-old was expecting from his time in Germany.

"There's been a lot of frustration at times; however, I've learned a lot through those frustrations which will only help me later in my career," Ampadu told The Athletic.

"I've not played as many games as I'd have liked to but in the games I've played in, I think I've done reasonably well. That'll give me confidence, but I've things to learn from.

"If I'm honest, it's not been as good as I hoped, not all that I wanted it to be. But I hope technically I've improved and, tactically, I've now played under another manager.

"So I've learned another style of football and how another manager thinks football should be played."

One of Ampadu's two starts came against Tottenham in the Champions League last-16.

Speaking of the experience, the Wales international added: "Starting at Tottenham? Yeah, that came out of the blue a little bit.

"It was my first start in a little while, obviously. I knew I had to concentrate 100 per cent, I was up against high-class players — Lucas Moura with his pace and movement, Dele Alli also. [Harry] Kane and Son [Heung-min] are a miss to any team, but they still [have] class players.

"[I] felt positive, felt I'd done well. It was tiring, the lungs and legs needed to get used to it."
