Ampadu made 13 Exeter appearances in 2016-17 and they hope to earn a fee for the player who came through their academy.

The versatile defensive midfielder was named as the Dragons’ best young player of 2016.

Dad Kwame was also a professional footballer and currently coaches Arsenal’s Under-18s.

But the Welsh FA are doing everything in their power to ensure he stays in their system, meaning he could soon be handed his first cap.
