Leeds United have signed Wales international Ethan Ampadu from Premier League side Chelsea on a four-year deal for a reported £7m fee plus add-ons.
The 22-year-old defender played just 12 games for the Blues following his move from Exeter City in July 2017.
Ampadu had loan spells with Sheffield United and German side RB Leipzig, and spent the past two seasons in Italy with Venezia and Spezia respectively.
He becomes Leeds' first summer signing under new boss Daniel Farke.
With defenders Rasmus Kristensen, Diego Llorente and Robin Koch all departing on loan for the season following Leeds' relegation to the Championship, Ampadu's arrival gives boss Farke a new option at the back - though he can also play in a holding midfield role.
