Italian Serie A side Spezia Calcio have completed the loan signing of Welsh-born of Ghanaian descent Ethan Ampadu until the end of the 2022/23 season.
Ampadu has joined the Black and White lads on a season-long loan deal from English giants Chelsea on the transfer deadline day.
Chelsea have agreed to farm out the hugely talented guardsman to Spezia Calcio until the end of the season with no buy option.
The 21-year-old recently returned to the London based Premier League club after a season on loan in Italy with Venezia.
Ampadu has been with Chelsea since 2017 when he signed from Exeter City but has since failed to establish himself as a first-team regular.
He has spent the last three seasons on loan at different clubs, gaining experience around Europe with RB Leipzig, Sheffield United, and Venezia.
Despite being relegated from Serie A, the 21-year-old utility man excelled during his loan stay at Venezia last season, making 29 appearances in a variety of positions ranging from central defence to defensive midfielder and, at times, wing-back.
Spezia are beefing up their squad for the new season after sustaining their topflight status in the last campaign.
