Chelsea back in for Ake?

“Ake should have played for Chelsea by now. He’s so good.

“How often does he not score with his head? He has timing and insight. I hope they buy him back. That boy is perfect for them and he has played with Lampard.”

Those are the words of Chelsea scout Piet de Visser who has made it clear that he believes the club should attempt to sign Nathan Ake from Bournemouth. The Dutchman made the jump from Chelsea to the Cherries back in 2017 after a long, sustained period of failing to break into the starting XI with the Blues.

Now, with Chelsea preparing for a brand new chapter under the guidance of Frank Lampard, it seems as if Ake is back on the radar and is widely considered to be the kind of player that Lampard would be interested in signing.

Either way, this story doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon.
