Chelsea defender Nathan Ake to hold talks over Stamford Bridge future

This is a modal window.

Steve Nicol says Chelsea should try to spin Diego Costa's desire to return to Atletico into a move for Antoine Griezmann.

LONDON -- Nathan Ake will hold talks about his Chelsea future with technical director Michael Emenalo and head coach Antonio Conte, he has told the Guardian.

Ake spent much of the second half of the season on the bench after being recalled from a loan spell at Bournemouth in January to provide defensive cover.

The 22-year-old made five appearances in all competitions for the Blues, who are reportedly targeting significant defensive reinforcements this summer.
