Sheffield United have signed versatile Chelsea midfielder Ethan Amapdu on a season-long loan deal.
Ampadu has returned to Chelsea this summer following an unsuccessful loan stint at RB Leipzig last season.
The Wales international impressed when given the chance in Germany but those opportunities were few and far between.
Chelsea have spent more than £200m on new players this summer and Frank Lampard's side have sanctioned a second loan stint away for the 19-year-old.
Ampadu's natural position is central midfield but the teenager tends to play centre-back when given first-team opportunities.

Wales kickstarted their UEFA Nations League campaign with back-to-back wins without conceding a goal this month, with Ampadu starting both games in defence.
Across both matches the teen attempted 171 passes with a hugely impressive pass success rate of 94.2%.
Moreover, Ampadu also caught the eye last season with Leipzig with a hugely impressive display in their victory over Tottenham in the Champions League knockout stage.
