The Evening Standard claim Leeds United have tabled an offer to sign £12m-rated Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu with

Mauricio Pochettino’s side open to selling the Wales star – and right now, our offer is the only one on the table.

Ampadu, 22, has spent the last four seasons out on loan from Chelsea at Leipzig, Sheffield United, Venezia and then Spezia,

the latter two in Serie A. The 43-time Wales star returns to Chelsea. He is in the last year of his contract.

The report states that Chelsea are open to selling him this summer. They want a fee of £12m for Ampadu, who can play as a

midfielder, on the right of defence or as a centre-back. A player that has 12 senior outings for Chelsea.

The report says Chelsea are considering an offer from Leeds for Ampadu, but it is unclear if the bid matches their £12m

valuation. Ampadu has interest from Premier League clubs, and from Serie A and Spain. Udinese are keen.

Chelsea are looking to offload a number of players this summer having already waved goodbye to the likes of Mateo Kovacic,

Kai Havertz, Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly and plenty more. Now, Ampadu could join that long list.

Leeds table offer to sign £12m-rated Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu

Ampadu would be a wonderful signing. With Leeds waving goodbye to right-footed defenders Rasmus Kristensen, Diego

Llorente and Robin Koch, he would be solid cover. Marc Roca has now left and Ampadu would replace him.

It would be a bit of a coup if we could pull off a deal for a player that has proven himself at Serie A level and at just 22 has an

incredible amount of caps for his country. An exit looks likely and a move to Leeds is now on the cards.

26-year-old makes debut in huge 15-1 win after Elland Road exit, Leeds star’s brother scores four

Robin Koch made his debut for Frankfurt after his Leeds United exit on Saturday afternoon as the Bundesliga club smashed

minnows Braunfels 15-1 – with Koch playing the second 45, and Brenden Aaronson’s brother scoring four.

Koch, 26, is one of many players to have left Leeds this summer along with the likes of Rasmus Kristensen, Rodrigo, Diego

Llorente and Aaronson. Wearing the no.4 shirt, he played the second half as Frankfurt eased a massive win.

It was a comprehensive display from the German side, who will be in European competition next season. A move that sees

Koch look to establish himself back in Germany’s National Team, with Euro 2024 closing in next summer.

A move that sees Leeds basically wave goodbye to Koch permanently. With his contract expiring next summer at Leeds, he is

more than likely to sign a pre-contract agreement at Frankfurt from January 1, officially leaving in 2024.

So, Koch made his debut for Frankfurt on Saturday – or at least, his non-competitive debut. They made 11 changes at half-

time and Koch was one of those, taking to the field for the first time as his new side eased to a 15-1 win.

Koch prevented Frankfurt’s opposition from scoring while he was on the pitch. But it was another player with Leeds

connections that stole the headlines. Brenden Aaronson’s younger brother Paxten ended the game with four goals.

Aaronson also got an assist for Frankfurt’s 13th, while Koch himself registered an assist – flicking a corner into the path of

fellow new signing Ellyes Skhiri to score, for Frankfurt’s eighth. A good start for Koch, harder tests to come.
