The 20-year-old noted that he must get regular playing time on the pitch in order for him to achieve his dreams.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t really spoken to him [Thomas Tuchel],\u201d Ampadu told YorkshireLive<\/p>\n

\u201cI have spoken to Chelsea a little bit here and there just to see how the seasons are going, nothing for in the future, they have their season to finish off, and we have ours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to be playing regular football, but I hope every footballer thinks that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is your job, and that\u2019s what you want to do, that is why you grow up having a dream. Wherever I am, I want to be playing football.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have to wait and see what happens. I have dreams myself, that\u2019s to play for one club, so we will have to wait and see.\u201d<\/p>\n
