CHELSEA are keen to bring Nathan Ake back to Stamford Bridge, according to reports.
The defender, 27, joined the Blues' academy in 2010 before climbing up the ranks and making his Premier League debut two years later.
He made 17 senior appearances across all competitions in between three consecutive loan spells at Reading, Watford and Bournemouth respectively.
In 2017 he joined the Cherries for a £20million fee and doubled his price tag during his spell on the South coast.
His fantastic form attracted interest from various clubs including Manchester City, who bought him for £41m three years later.
But now he could be on the move once again.
According to Sky Sports, Chelsea are keen on bringing Ake back to the club.
