Middlesbrough are expecting to have Chelsea youngster Nathan Ake in their squad for the new and upcoming campaign.
At just 20-years old, the starlet is not a regular first-team choice at Chelsea, and is now set for a move to Championship side Middlesbrough where he is expected to be played on a regular basis.
Ake has been brought up through the Chelsea academy and had his first loan spell away at Reading last season where he made 5 appearances during the emergency one-month loan he had at the Madejski Stadium.
Ake has never received a red card in the ten professional appearances he has made, five of which on-loan at Reading, and five at Chelsea, four of these have been off the bench. He has only ever picked up one yellow card.
