Reading manager Steve Clarke has heaped praise on Nathan Ake following his loan stint with the club.
The 20-year old Chelsea defender made five Championship starts in his month-long stay at the Madejski Stadium and his performances, culminating in his Man of the Match in his final game against Birmingham City on Wednesday night, were enough to suggest to Clarke that he has plenty to look forward to.
"Chelsea have asked for Nathan back so he goes back to Chelsea," Clarke said.
"We thank them for allowing Nathan to come and I think everyone has seen in the five games that he has played that he's a top player, and that he's got a very bright future ahead of him."
