But having joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan from Chelsea, Ampadu rejects the suggestion that his aim at Bramall Lane should be to establish himself at club level as he has done in the red of his country.
As things stand, it would be a shock if Ampadu is not a prominent player when Euro 2020 comes around next summer, yet the teenager is taking nothing for granted.
"I am not sure I would say I am an established player yet," Ampadu says.
"I have played 15 times, that's not 50 times, it's not 100 times. I have still got a lot to learn and a lot to improve on. I have to try to work hard to get into the team."
Ampadu, who turns 20 on Monday, got a first taste of senior football at Exeter City, making his debut before he had done his GCSEs.
