Chris Coleman the head coach of Wales has so much confidence in the young defensive midfielder, so giving him the opportunity to join the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey in the national team.
Welsh captain Ashely Williams evidently shares this opinion on Ampadu.
“I wasn’t going to retire until I saw Ethan Ampadu in Portugal. He’s something else," said the Everton centre-back.
“I was watching him and I thought, ‘This kid is unbelievable’.
“He’s so young but if he carries on the sky is the limit for him. Even I’m thinking, ‘Ok, if he progresses how he should then he will be a natural replacement for me'
