Nathan Ake was excellent against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, as Chelsea overcame a resilient Spurs to reach the FA Cup final.
The 22-year-old stepped in to the Blues’ starting line-up after it was confirmed that Gary Cahill had been ruled out of the Wembley clash due to injury, and Chelsea fans want more of the Dutchman.

One can only wish that Conte plays Aké instead of Cahill in our remaining league games. Kid was simply brilliant yesterday. #CFC pic.twitter.com/o8pYjSbUhY
