Overview
- Stoke announced Ampah’s arrival on a permanent deal, with the England youth international signing through 2029.
- He will be registered as an under-21 player and therefore does not occupy a slot in the 25-man senior squad.
- Jesurun Rak-Sakyi filled the final senior squad place, with Ampah still expected to feature in first-team plans.
- The fee was not disclosed by the clubs, though earlier reports indicated a package worth up to £3 million with a significant sell-on clause retained by Chelsea.
- Ampah, a winger who joined Chelsea at age 10 and debuted for their first team in the UEFA Conference League in 2024, said he is eager to develop and excite supporters.
