Stoke City are being linked with a move for Chelsea U21 winger Ato Ampah, with the Championship club monitoring the highly rated teenager’s situation at Stamford Bridge.
The 19-year-old, who plays primarily as a right winger, is currently on the books of Chelsea’s under-21 side but is the subject of growing transfer speculation, with reports suggesting Stoke are weighing up a move. The probability of any deal remains unclear, listed only as “?” in the latest data, and there is no indication yet of an agreed fee or contract terms.
Ampah’s current market value is recorded as None, a detail that has only added to the uncertainty around the scale of any potential transfer and whether Chelsea might consider a loan, a permanent sale, or allow his deal to run down towards possible free-agent status. His contractual expiry date is not specified, leaving open the possibility that his future could become even more fluid in the coming windows.
Born in Accra on 22 April 2006, Ampah represents both England and Ghana at national level, underlining his dual-nationality background. He progressed through Chelsea’s youth ranks, moving from Chelsea Youth to the U18s in 2022 before stepping up to the U21s ahead of the 2024–25 campaign, all within the Premier League 2 structure.
A right-footed attacker standing at 1.78m, Ampah has been deployed across the frontline, but his main position is listed as attack – right wing, a role that would fit Stoke’s need for more pace and direct running in wide areas. Although recent specific match details, such as opponents, dates, scorelines and individual performances, are not provided in the available data, his rapid promotion through Chelsea’s age groups suggests consistent progress.
If Stoke choose to firm up their interest, a move to the Championship could offer Ampah a significant platform to accelerate his senior career and shape his reputation as one of the more intriguing young wingers emerging from Chelsea’s academy.
