Asked about Ampadu’s rise to prominence, former Leeds defender Kilgallon - who was speaking in association with the [best crypto sports betting sites](https://www.ccn.com/crypto-sports-betting/) - told ****GOAL****: “When you went to watch him at Sheffield United, he went on loan there, it didn't work for him. I know a few lads that have played at Sheffield United and spoke to a few people. I'm saying, ‘who's this Ampadu, he looks way off it at the minute?’
“Now he's come to Leeds United, and what a player. Captain, leader, doesn't miss a game, will play centre-half, will play centre-mid. Honestly, I haven't seen him have a bad game. Every game he has, he's a seven minimum. He's just leading that team.
“There's a great changing room there at Leeds United. I think he's the one who sorts that out. I think he's a leader on and off the pitch. I can't speak highly enough of him. I think they laughed the other day that he doesn't score enough, but he does everything else that people may not see as much - them tackles, the runs back.
“He's been an absolute standout player for Leeds United. Leeds have had some good players so far this season, but Ampadu has stood out. He really has.”
