Bruggink backing Nathan Ake for success at Chelsea

Former Dutch striker Arnold Bruggink feels Chelsea defender Nathan Ake is destined for big things.

Ake, 18, has enjoyed a Premier League debut under Rafa Benitez this year.

Bruggink said: "He is from the same batch as Rekik and Vilhena. Those guys were with the U17 Oranje which won the European Championships (in 2012).

"We're going to hear a lot more from them."
