Ake completes move to Bournemouth

Bournemouth have completed the signing of Nathan Ake from Chelsea.

The Cherries have broken their transfer record, buying the Netherlands international for a reported £20m.

Ake, 22, impressed while on loan at Bournemouth last season and joins them on a permanent basis after five years at Chelsea.

He made 17 first-team appearances for the Blues, who signed him from Feyenoord in 2012.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe said: “Nathan is an outstanding young player with a fantastic attitude and a great desire to learn and develop.

“He has a very bright future ahead of him and I’m very pleased to say that future is here.”
