Nathan Ake has revealed that he is still part of the loanees WhatsApp group at Chelsea as he targets more regular playing time next season.

The 22-year-old spent the first half of last term at Bournemouth but was recalled from his loan spell in January by Antonio Conte.

Ake made just five appearances for the Blues after returning early and he admits that having a 'taste' of the Premier League has given him the hunger for more.
