Ampadu and Wilson are team-mates at international level for Wales and the midfielder was asked by BBC Radio Leeds about whether he helped convince the attacker to make the switch from Fulham to Elland Road.
"I don't think he needed my convincing to join," Ampadu said. "I think he knew what an amazing club this is, what a great time he can have here. I like to think my message or two might've aided him in that direction. I think whenever I've spoken to him in the past the Welsh lads on camp have spoken glowingly about Leeds.
"All the conversations he's had with the manager and club have gone in the right direction. Because I know him quite well and I know him on the pitch, I'm grateful that we've got him in.
"I think everyone saw more last year, I think maybe because he was coming to the end of his contract that gets people talking about you in a different way but his quality, his left foot, the way he works for the team, the way he works for himself, I think all Leeds fans are going to appreciate the hard work he does and the goals and assists is very special and what helps results."
Ampadu also touched on how the Leeds team will have to change this coming season after achieving their goal of staying in the Premier League.
"I think you always have to try to adapt," he said. "You always have got to lean on what worked and you've also got to adapt on what you can improve, so I think any way we can do that is going to be done.
"I think collectively as a team we want to improve no matter which way it is, that's why we have pre-season. It's one of the most demanding leagues in the world, so we know the physicality has got to be there again. We've got to try and outrun teams again and make sure we're hard to play against and then things adapt because you want to try and find ways to win."
