#1 Nathan Ake
The defender joined Bournemouth this season for £22 million. While he has gotten off to a shaky start to the season with the club, Ake impressed last season even prompting Chelsea to recall him in the middle of a brilliant loan spell at Bournemouth. He was sold this past summer despite Kurt Zouma being loaned out and John Terry leaving the club permanently.
Ake was praised by Antonio Conte on multiple occasions after impressing once he returned to Stamford Bridge. He was praised for his composure and maturity and became popular with the Chelsea supporters as well.
Considering Chelsea's teething problems at the back this season, Ake would have been a great option and his potential could still prompt Chelsea to regret selling the Dutch defender despite a difficult start to the season at Bournemouth
