Chelsea are reportedly ready to send Ethan Ampadu out on loan to newly promoted Fulham next season. Ampadu spent the 2019/2020 season with RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
However, he made just seven appearances under Julian Nagelsmann to the frustration of Chelsea.
Manager Frank Lampard is understood to be a fan of Ampadu but with the competition in defence and midfield high, the likelihood of regular appearances at Chelsea next season are slim.
It means the Blues have been considering their options over where to send Ampadu next.
And reports suggest Lampard will be able to keep a very close eye on Ampadu on his latest move.
According to the Athletic, west London neighbours Fulham have seen off the competition from Norwich and are close to an agreement for Empadu.
The Cottagers are aiming to bring in around five new faces to help them avoid immediate relegation back to the Championship.
Scott Parker and Lampard were team-mates for Chelsea and England and their relationship could have played a role in the deal.
