Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu is reportedly of interest of Premier League new boys Aston Villa.
Chelsea supporters on Twitter have urged defender Ethan Ampadu to join Aston Villa because they feel it would be the ‘perfect’ loan move for him.
According to The Guardian, newly-promoted Villa are keen on the services of the 18-year-old centre-back as they aim to bulk up their defence ahead of the new campaign.
Ampadu is a versatile player, who can play many defensive positions, including in front of the defence, which is an area Villa need to fill this summer following the departures of Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak.
If Ampadu were to make a switch to Villa Park then he wouldn’t be the first player to move to the Midlands following striker Tammy Abraham’s successful spell last term.
The Chelsea Youth product was Villa’s top-scorer as Dean Smith’s side earned promotion back to the promised via the playoffs last month.
Stamford Bridge legend, John Terry is part of the set-up at Villa Park and many Chelsea fans feel that his influence could be vital and perfect for Ampadu taking his career to the next level.
Following their promotion, Villa will be very keen to make the loan moves of Tyrone Mings and Kortney Hause permanent – two left-footed centre-backs.
If that were to happen then it would make it difficult for Ampadu to push ahead of the duo, but he can fill a role in front of the defence, which would make him a seriously great addition for Smith.
