Chelsea have rejected a last minute bid for Nathan Ake from Bournemouth. The Cherries had signed Ake on loan at the beginning of the league season.

According to reports, Eddie Howe made a lucrative last minute offer for the centre back that has been rejected by the Blues.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is a huge fan of the centre back and wants to keep him at Stamford Bridge for the time being.

Bournemouth bid a reported $12.5 million.
