Chelsea Chairman Writes Back to Exeter Fan Concerned About Compensation for Ethan Ampadu

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck has moved to address concerns over the compensation Exeter City want for youngster Ethan Ampadu.

The Welsh teenager moved to Stamford Bridge last summer and has made several appearances for the Blues, impressing immensely, both in midfield and defence.

An unfortunate injury has cut his season short, yet much is expected from the precocious 17-year-old, who could go on to have a brilliant career as a Chelsea player given his impact at such a tender age.

Chelsea and Exeter, though, could not agree on a transfer fee for the starlet ahead of his move.
