Bournemouth signing Ake surprised Chelsea allowed Terry to leave

Bournemouth signing Nathan Ake is surprised Chelsea allowed John Terry to leave for Aston Villa.

Ake was, and still is, hugely influenced by Blues legend Terry, who joined Championship side Aston Villa last week, and believes will eventually become

a great coach – probably back at Stamford Bridge.

He is surprised Terry was allowed to leave, though, and said: “He's a really big character in the changing rooms. He is Chelsea basically, so you want to see him at the club for as long as possible.

“I can't comment on the decisions of the board but they are big shoes to fill. He's a big player and a big character."
