It's often easy to forget that clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal all have quality players plying their trade away from English football on temporary loan deals.

However, there are a handful of players from the elite Premier League sides who have been enjoying their football in the past seven days in Serie A, the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Let's take a look at who's been impressing...

Ethan Ampadu shines against Tottenham

Ethan Ampadu has largely been a spectator so far this campaign with RB Leipzig in Germany. On loan from Chelsea, he has featured in just seven games in all competitions, and his inclusion in Julian Nagelsmann's starting XI against Tottenham in the Champions League last Wednesday was his first start for Die Rotenbullen.

You wouldn't have guessed it, though, based on the quality of his display. Against Spurs, he managed three clearances, four interceptions and one tackle, whilst he also landed 94% of the passes he attempted. Before the match, the absence of Dayot Upamecano may have been a worry for the Bundesliga side, but the Wales international took advantage of his opportunity.

As we approach the business end of the season, Ampadu has less and less chance of making a distinct impression for Leipzig. Frank Lampard and the Chelsea hierarchy will no doubt be disappointed that he has not played on a more regular basis, but they will be hoping that this display convinces Nagelsmann to give him more playing time between now and the end of the season.

Angelino on the scoresheet

After re-signing for the Citizens last summer for just £5.3m, the former PSV man made only 12 appearances in all competitions, of which just four came in the Premier League. Even after just six months, he was already out of the door during the January transfer window, following Ampadu to Leipzig on loan.

Last week was a successful one for the 23-year-old. He started against Spurs in north London, helping his side keep a clean sheet in the process, whilst he also grabbed his first goal for his new temporary club away at Schalke in the Bundesliga - it was beautifully struck as well.

He put in a solid display, completing all four of his attempted dribbles whilst prevailing in seven out of his eight duels as well.

Why he was shipped out so quickly from the Etihad Stadium makes little sense, but Angelino will surely be hoping to convince Pep Guardiola that he has a future in Manchester.

If he can keep up his great start to life in Germany, he may just force his way in to his compatriot's plans yet.

Mkhitaryan nets for Roma

Henrikh Mkhitaryan's time at Arsenal was unspectacular, with him managing nine goals and 13 assists in 59 appearances for the Gunners. When he left on loan to join Serie A side AS Roma, there appeared to be few calls pleading for him to stay at the Emirates Stadium.

His spell in Italy, though, he has been a moderately successful one, with him managing five goals and two assists in 18 matches.

He grabbed one of each in the Giallorossi's 4-0 win against Lecce at the weekend. It was a promising display from the Armenia international, who also managed two key passes during the 90 minutes.

With a contract until 2021, there is still time for the former Borussia Dortmund man to make some kind of impact in north London. First, though, he will need to continue to impress at the Stadium Olimpico - performances like this one will go some way to helping him do just that.
