Nathan Ake will spend the season on loan at Watford after signing a new five-year deal with parent club Chelsea.

The center back moved to Stamford Bridge as a 15-year-old and has featured on 12 occasions for the club, including playing in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League.

Ake, who spent a month on loan at Championship side Reading last month, has now committed his future to the Premier League champion.
