Nathan Ake admits he has noticed talk of Manchester United and Tottenham interest but is focused on Bournemouth

The £40million-valued Dutchman, 23, has been in superb form for the Cherries this season, with Eddie Howe‘ side winning five and drawing one out of eight in the Premier League.


Former Chelsea ace Ake came on as a second-half sub as Holland beat Germany 3-0 in the Nations League.

But he is not getting ahead of himself after being tipped as a potential replacement for Jan Veronghen at Spurs — as revealed by SunSport — or one of Manchester United’s many failing defenders.

He told FootballOrajne.com: "I’ve seen it pass by but of course it’s rumours

"At the moment I play at Bournemouth and that is going well, so I focus on that.


"This does not say much about my status yet.

"They are rumours on the internet and as long as I do not hear anything myself, I will not go into that."

Howe pushed hard to get Ake in on a permanent from Chelsea in the summer of 2017 and has reaped the rewards, with Bournemouth currently sixth in the Prem.

The Dutch beat Germany 3-0 for the first time in their history on Saturday to inflict further misery on coach Jogi Low after a miserable defence of their World Cup crown in Russia this summer.



Ake moved to Chelsea from Feyenoord in 2011 at the age of 16 and struggled to get first-team football at Chelsea before thriving under a loan spell with Howe at Bournemouth, before the £20m move became permanent in 2017.

Spurs are also looking to offload Victor Wanyama, Mousa Dembele and Michel Vorm.

Bournemouth face local rivals Southampton when the Premier League returns on Saturday.
