Jose just promoted Ake to the first team

There are a few like that at Chelsea so I've heard. Bertrand Traore is also one I looked up highly on in Pre-Season when he was knocking a few goals in. Another good player in the making for me.

As long as you are not like United with Pogba, you should do find with all of your young players and not just make a quick fire judgement.

Traore finally signed his contract with us a few weeks ago and was sent straight to Holland to join our Chelsea loanees at Vitesse, who are currently leading the Eredivisie fuelled by our 19 year old lad Lucas Piazon who's got 11 goals and 8 assists in 16 games or something, arguably the best player in Holland in the first half of the season.

Atsu and Patrick are also doing very well there.

I'm chuffed to see Ake get back on the first team and he didn't put a foot wrong when he played under Benitez last season at 17.

Very happy about this. Ake looked the part last season whenever he played so hopefully he'll get his chance in the first team soon.

Looking at the talent that comes out on Holland as well, them young lads have done well to step up with a lot of the other teams and challenge towards the top. I bet it sure helps them as well as Vitesse.

By this he will likely make the bench a couple of times at most. Maybe 5 minutes at the end of our FA Cup 5th round match.
