According to the Mirror’s Live Transfer News, Aston Villa are set to reignite their interest in Chelsea’s Ethan Ampadu when the January transfer window opens.
The 18-year-old, who can play at centre-back or as a defensive midfielder, was approached by Steve Bruce in the summer, but the Welsh international rejected the move as he wanted to try and prove his worth to new boss, Maurizio Sarri.
However, he has made just two appearances in the Europa League this season.
Villa already have Tammy Abraham on loan from Chelsea, and they will be hoping that the good relationship between the two clubs will help them secure a loan move for another talented youngster.
However, they could face stiff competition from Derby as it is believed that Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is very interested in acquiring his services.
Amapadu would flourish under the guidance of Dean Smith and John Terry, and he would bring some much needed depth to Villa’s defence.
