Nathan Ake at Watford. Picture: Action Images
Former Watford loanee Nathan Ake has joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The 21-year-old Dutchman featured 28 times for the Hornets last season while on loan from Stamford Bridge, and was named their young player of the year in May.
He had been tipped to play a part in Antonio Conte's first-team squad at Chelsea for next season, but will instead spend it at Dean Court after finalising the temporary move.
And he could now face his old employers when Bournemouth travel to Vicarage Road on October 1.
