Nathan Ake thinks that he has returned to Chelsea as a better player. Chelsea recalled the player from his season-long loan spell at Bournemouth.
Ake had been trying it hard to get into the starting lineup of the Cherries. But since Eddie Howe had deployed him in the Cherries defence he excelled in the new club.
The 21-year-old made a total of 12 appearances for them scoring three goals including a stoppage time winner for Bournemouth.
The Dutch player who can also be deployed in the midfield could be an option as a left wingback and will provide stiff competition to Marcos Alonso.
Ake said, “I really enjoyed it.
“From the first day I joined I was made to feel part of the group. Everyone took me in and welcomed me and as a result both myself and partner settled quickly.
“Over the six months I feel I have developed as a player, both on and off the pitch. To start with I wasn’t playing too much, but I dealt with that mentally, kept going and was happy when I got my chance
