Nathan Ake

Hijack the Lenglet to Spurs deal? Left-footed centre-back , UCL experience and French international.
 
Sell for £50m+, buy a cheap replacement, and spent all the money on a winger.
 
I'll be dissapointed to see him go as he comes across as a very likeable guy and a top professional. I don't think he's quite at the same level as Stones, Dias or Laporte and he probably feels like he's too good to be a fourth choice centre back so I can understand him wanting to go somewhere and play regularly especially as he's in his peak years as a footballer.

As far as a replacement goes, I do think we should buy one but they don't need to be world class. An experienced top quality centre back for a relatively low fee who doesn't expect to play every single week would be ideal.
 
Guaranteed more game time at Chelsea but will be in the same situation in a seasons time (especially wen they are going to sign another defender). Anyway I wish Ake well he has helped us win a couple of league titles; and on top of that we have got a good fee and his wife is probably happy moving back to London. Although signing a replacement has become a lot trickier.
