A product of the Exeter City youth academy, appearing for the under-18 squad at the age of 14, he made his senior debut – aged 15 years, 10 months and 26 days – in an EFL Cup first round match against Brentford at St James Park on the 9th of August 2016, playing the full 120 minutes of a 1–0 victory. The player became the club’s youngest ever player, breaking an 87-year-old record set by Cliff Bastin, and being named man of the match. The player’s record was beaten by Ben Chrisene in August 2019. After a frame of one week, he made his league debut in a 1–0 home defeat against Crawley Town in EFL League Two.
Chelsea
On the 1st of July 2017, Ampadu signed a contract with Premier League club Chelsea. The two clubs had entered negotiations over a compensation fee for the player in an attempt to reach a fee that both found acceptable for the then 16-year-old. Yet, in the month of November 2017, Exeter City chairman Julian Tagg said that, whilst there was still a positive relationship between the two clubs, there was also a “massive disparity” in both clubs’ valuation of the player. It was set to go to a tribunal.
