Chelsea urged to re-sign 'perfect' Ake by Abramovich advisor

The scout who unearthed Brazilian stars Romario and Ronaldo believes the Bournemouth defender would be ideal for the Blues under Frank Lampard

A leading scout who has played a key role at Chelsea believes the Blues should make a determined bid to re-sign Nathan Ake.

Netherlands international Ake left Stamford Bridge for Bournemouth in a £20 million (€23m) deal in 2017 having previously enjoyed a spell on loan with the south coast club.

But Piet de Visser, who has acted as a key advisor to Blues owner Roman Abramovich, believes the 24-year-old has now developed to such an extent that he would give a massive boost to the Frank Lampard's defensive ranks.
