Nathan Aké

Another talented you man signed for 5 years. The little I have seen of him, I was very impressed.

The 18 year old is given more opportunity elsewhere for now & I am certain he will be back for Chelsea within a year or two.

Someone confirmed half time in the U21 match yesterday that he's not going on loan as we want him to be homegrown. That doesn't stop a domestic loan but I guess Vitesse were more interested.

Want all the best for this lad. Has showed more urgency and drive than the likes of Mikel as of late

That's not saying much

[Atlas Lion 1,223]

That's not saying much

Mikel was quality Sep-Nov. then became far to inconsistent

If Mikel leaves, then i think he could be added as a possible string player in rotation, as well as appearances through Carling Cup and FA Cup ties.

Delighted with his new deal. I honestly believe he is one of the best prospects in our youth academy now if not the best.

Yeah, I agree.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

I think 2nd best behind loftus cheek.

I think he's 4th best after RLC, Boga and Christensen.

[Yeboii 1,844]

I think he's 4th best after RLC, Boga and Christensen.

Maybe even Charly Musonda Jr.

[hjperdeath 2,226]

I'd put Nathan up as the best prospect.

When asked about going out on loan, he told Dutch newspaper AD: "It was discussed, but if I have a full year at Chelsea it will be my third season in London.

"Then I will count officially as a player from the clubs youth academy. Every club in England must have a minimum number of self-developed players. It was a conscious choice".
