21-year-old Chelsea youngster Nathan Ake has impressed for his loan club Bournemouth this season playing as a central defender but Ake has revealed that his favourite position is in midfield despite playing much of the season at centre-back for Bournemouth.

On his favourite position, Ake told Soccer AM: “I think midfield, just in front of defence and trying to read play, intercept balls. I think that’s my favourite one.

“The one I’m playing now, I’ve played a lot of times for Chelsea and in Holland as well so I know that position quite well.

“But I think the best one I can play is in midfield but I don’t mind playing anywhere else.”
