Chelsea are reportedly prepared to allow Ethan Ampadu to leave the club on loan in the January transfer window.
Ampadu made seven first-team appearances for Chelsea last season, but the 18-year-old is yet to turn out for the club since Maurizio Sarri arrived as head coach.
A whole host of Championship clubs are believed to be interested in the Wales international, and according to Goal.com, the teenager could be allowed to leave on loan in the early stages of 2019.
Derby County and Aston Villa have both been linked with moves for the midfielder, who is already a five-time Wales international.
Ampadu, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Exeter City in 2017, signed a new five-year contract with Chelsea in September.
