Nathan Ake is reportedly under consideration of Frank Lampard and whether he wants to bring the former Chelsea player back to Stamford Bridge, according to a recent report via The Telegraph.
They say that Lampard will assess the form and fitness of Antonio Rudiger before making any decisions on whether to trigger a reported £40 million buyback option for the Bournemouth defender, which of course Ake will have to want the move as well.
It is a possible pursuit that has once again been causing pretty much a 50/50 split of opinions amongst some Chelsea fans on social media.
Some believe that it would be a no brainer to bring him back for £40 millions, whilst others believe he is no better than what the club already have and they should be looking at world class options.
Ake has become a hugely important defender for Bournemouth, so they will be hoping that he decides to stay with them whether Chelsea make a move or not.
No brainer

Ake is quality and easy worth 40m but is he really an improvement on what we have? We have 4 cb plus ampadu who are basically all squad players standard we need a top top quality cb. Unless someone is offering us 40/50m for christensen so its basically a swap it not good idea

Nathan Ake is an average defender. Chelsea needs a top world class centre back. Ake isn't.

ComeOn bro. The guy is a very good player, a highy rated potential. He would worth € 70M but for us he would be only €40M. He has shown quality, and leadership despite being young, & he's a pure product of the PL. Remember, Laporte was not a WC when joined City!

Not good enough so no

He has become an even better defender during his time at Bournemouth, he went off with an injury yesterday and I think he will give us something at the other end of the pitch as well.
