With the window closed, Chelsea fans will have been largely happy with the work done throughout the summer. But they need another midfielder, and supporters want a Premier League star re-signed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Failure to bring in another midfielder after selling Enzo Fernandez has left Xabi Alonso\u2019s<\/a> side light in the middle of the park, with Moises Caicedo and Jordan Henderson still out \u2013 Henderson is back in training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to talk about our midfield situation\u2026 who\u2019s getting your vote?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Chelsea<\/a> don\u2019t need a player like Fernandez; they need a defensive midfielder who can partner Caicedo and allow Reece James to play at right-back. Romeo Lavia\u2019s form has dipped in the last couple of games.<\/p>\n

Lamine Camara or Manu Kone would have been ideal signings. Defensive-minded players who are superb in transition and can create from deep. On Monday night however, Leeds beat Newcastle at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Chelsea fans want Ethan Ampadu after Monday masterclass<\/h2>\n

Back in 2023, BlueCo cashed in on Wales star Ampadu<\/a>. The Cobham academy graduate had just spent two years in Serie A on loan at Spezia and Venezia, suffering relegation twice. Leeds paid just \u00a37m.<\/p>\n

Over the last three seasons, Ampadu has found his home. He has become club captain and a stalwart in Daniel Farke\u2019s side. On Monday, he was superb as Leeds cruised past Newcastle to secure a 4-1 win.<\/p>\n

Onlooking Chelsea fans have urged BlueCo to re-sign the player they sold for a bargain \u00a37m, just three years later. Having signed a new deal in the summer, Ampadu is likely to cost a whole lot more than that.<\/p>\n

Ampadu was superb for Leeds, winning every tackle and covering every blade of grass. One Chelsea fan agreed with the post above, replying: \u201cAgree with that big time. Would be an amazing signing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes he is good, he loves us too\u201d, was the reaction from another Chelsea supporter in response to the above post. One fan also commented: \u201cThis came to my mind today; he\u2019s been good at Leeds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Would be GREAT. Ethan would be a godsend for this team lacking in leaders and experience in the midfield. Not the superstar signing we were hoping for but better than what we\u2019ve got.<\/p>\n

Did Chelsea include a clause in the deal to sell Ethan Ampadu?<\/h2>\n

The deal to sell Ampadu to Leeds cost an initial \u00a37m, plus \u00a33m more in add-ons. Those add-ons are likely to have been met given Ampadu\u2019s success at Elland Road, promotion, and his Wales form since leaving.<\/p>\n

Chelsea didn\u2019t include a buyback clause in the deal, with that type of clause largely unused in English football. It is something more common over in Spain, but Chelsea did include a sell-on fee for Ampadu.<\/p>\n

If Chelsea did go in for Ampadu, it means they would have to forget about a potential windfall of cash for the Wales star. But it could save Chelsea a bit of cash on the fee to sign Ampadu if they made a move.<\/p>\n
