One of the stars of the Chelsea academy, Wales international Ethan Ampadu already has a handful of first-team appearances under his belt for the Blues – despite not turning 19 until September.
Equally adept at either centre-back or in central midfield, he will spend the season on loan with Leipzig and look to gain valuable experience under Julian Nagelsmann.

Dubbed the 'new Marcelo', Luan Candido arrives in Germany after Leipzig secured his signing from Palmeiras back in March on a five-year deal.
He had previously been linked with a move to Barcelona, while Manchester City reportedly turned down the chance to sign a player who can play as either a left-back or further forward on the wing.

With Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery now gone from the Allianz Arena and Bayern having struggled to sign replacements, the opportunity is there for Alphonso Davies to step into their shoes in the coming months.
Though yet to make a start, the 18-year-old Canada international already has six Bundesliga appearances to his name and has impressed during pre-season.

Despite making two appearances for Bayern Munich last season, Woo-yeong Jeong has chosen to go in search of pastures new this season having signed a long-term contract at Freiburg.
Comfortable on either wing, the 19-year-old will be hopeful of showing exactly why he was dubbed one of the most prodigious talents within the Bayern academy over the past two seasons.
