Nathan Benjamin Aké (born 18 February 1995) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays for Chelsea. He also plays for the Netherlands under-21 team as a defender or as a midfielder.
Aké agreed to join the Chelsea youth system from Feyenoord in late 2010 at the age of just 15. He had played at Feyenoord since the age of 12 after joining the club from ADO Den Haag.
He made his Premier League début on 26 December 2012 against Norwich City as a 17-year-old, replacing Juan Mata in added time at the end of a 1–0 win at Carrow Road. He made his first start for the club in the FA Cup on 27 February 2013, in a 2–0 win against Championship side Middlesbrough. He was chosen to start in a defensive midfield position for Chelsea in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash with Rubin Kazan in Russia on 11 April, a match that finished in a 3–2 loss but resulted in a 5–4 aggregate victory. Aké was an unused substitute for Chelsea in the Europa League final against Benfica in Amsterdam on 16 May, which Chelsea won 2–1. He was voted Chelsea's Young Player of the Year on 16 May, and made his first Premier League start three days later in the 2–1 win against Everton at Stamford Bridge on the last day of the campaign.
