AmpaduThe former partner of their son shared a Snap from their son who wore a Galatasaray kit on Thursday.

It came after the Super Lig-Leiders Trabzonspor defeated 3-0 to secure the Turkish cup.

The post immediately received a return of Leeds supporters.

And the club was quickly released a statement that Ampadu defended.

The explanation was: “Leeds United is aware of an image that circulates online from the son of Ethan Ampadu.

“Ethan divorced from his partner a few months ago and has no responsibility for the image in question.

“Ethan is aware of and sensitive to the tragic loss within the Loftus and Speight families.

“The club asks for Ethan’s privacy to be respected in what is a difficult time for him personally.”

Ampadu, 24, joined the whites in the summer of 2023 of Chelsea.

He has become a solid fan favorite in West Yorkshire and helps the club to gather 100 points this season on the way to The title of the championship.

The statement continued: “This season our captain has been a leader on and next to the field, which demonstrates his dedication to the club, the history and the wider Leeds community.

“Ethan has the full support of everyone at Leeds United. The club will not comment any further.”

Ampadu has previously attended events to commemorate the tragic death of Loftus and Speight.

He put flowers for the couple on Luton’s Kenilworth Road earlier this season as the club for 25 years since their death.
