Premier League boss reveals where Lampard will play star when he makes move back to Chelsea

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has revealed Frank Lampard’s plan for Chelsea’s Blades loanee Ethan Ampadu.

After Frank Lampard spent some serious money in the transfer window revamping this squad, it mean that the likes of Ampadu would need to be sent out on loan for a season or two to get the game time that they need to really shine at the Bridge.

And despite all the hype surrounding Ampadu, Lampard felt that he was not quite ready to make an impact on the squad this season, and the club agreed to let him make the loan move to United over the transfer window.

Welshman Ampadu, 20, can play as a centre-back or in midfield, but Wilder has opened up and suggested that Lampard wants to use Ampadu as a midfielder in the coming seasons, Wilder, talking about Ampadu and Serge Berge during the game against Liverpool, said on the SUN: “I thought Ethan’s performance was outstanding. I know the manager at Chelsea sees him as a sitting midfield player.

“He obviously played at right centre-half at Leipzig and in the middle of a back three as well in his time there, so they saw him in that position.

“But I thought both of them were outstanding last Saturday night [in midfield]. But mobility really is key. They’ve got to be able to handle the football, they’ve got to be able to tactically put themselves in good positions – which they both did for a young age.

“They’re both learners, they’re both very enthusiastic about learning, about getting better, they’ve got a huge appetite for that.

“But the game is moving on and it is a mobile game and players have to get about the park, and we’ve certainly got players that can do that and certainly those two possess those qualities.”
