EXETER STILL WAITING FOR AMPADU FEE

- KIERAN GILL

CHELSEA and Exeter City are yet to decide on a date for a tribunal that will set a transfer fee for defender Ethan Ampadu. The 17-year-old starred at the centre of Antonio Conte’s defence on Wednesday night in the Carabao Cup quarter-final win over Bournemout­h. But League Two Exeter are still owed a compensati­on fee for losing the teenager to Chelsea in the summer. Following Wednesday’s win, Chelsea will face Arsenal in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup in January. The two semi-final legs will see video assistant replays (VAR) being used for the first time in the competitio­n, before being rolled out for the Wembley final. Meanwhile, the Blues may loan defender Dujon Sterling to Bournemout­h in January.
