Conte: Why I brought Ake back to Chelsea
The Blues boss reveals that the much-loaned
midfielder was recalled from Bournemouth to play a part in their pursuit
of the Premier League titleCosta is happy here, insists Conte
The much-loaned defender was recalled from a spell at Bournemouth earlier in January after impressing as part of Eddie Howe's squad.
And Conte insists that the Dutchman has not been brought back in a bid to cash in on his strong performances during the January transfer window.
Instead, the Italian believes that the versatile Ake will be a valuable addition as he looks to maintain Chelsea's position at top of the table.
"Nathan Ake came back with us because I
evaluated his situation and our situation and he is a good reinforcement," Conte told reporters.
"Ake is a player who can play in different positions. I think he has improved a lot and now he is ready to play with Chelsea and help us.
