What happened. Chelsea are closely monitoring former player Ethan Ampadu, who is shining at Leeds United. However, Leeds have no intention of selling the club captain.

Ampadu left Chelsea for Leeds in 2023 and has become a key figure.
Leeds handed him a new four-year contract in June, running until 2030.
The Whites are determined to keep their captain despite Chelsea's interest.

Leeds' firm stance and Ampadu's long contract make a Chelsea move unlikely, but the speculation may continue.
