I search and there's not any news in The Sun, Daily Mail, Goal.com...and all newspapers around here write about this!

If this true, is it good to "stole" player at this young age from other clubs? He's not played one game for senior squad of Feyenoord, and now he is in Chelsea!

Translated from L'equipe:


Chelsea sign a player of 15 years!

Three years after the affair Kakuta (Lens), which had shaken the French football and that of Borini (ex-Bologna), Chelsea is again talking about him bad. Grilling courtesy to Manchester United, Chelsea have reached an agreement with the parents of Nathan Ake, 15, for his transfer to London. Netherlands' most promising of his generation, formed by Feyenoord defender will join the team of Carlo Ancelotti next February, when it has sixteen. The Rotterdam club will receive only 268,500 euros for costs of training, which led to the capture FIFA to change its criteria for compensation.

All the sides take players from clubs when they are young. Good for the lad and i think he has picked the right club as our acadamy is excellent at the moment. Hope to see him in the future.

Jeffrey Bruma, Patrick Van Aanholt, Connor Clifford (on loan at Plymouth doing very well) Nathinal Chalobah captianed England U17s at the age of 15 and made his debut when he was 14. Our youth acadamy is booming at the moment.

I think you have to wait till some of those players have actually proven themselves on a bigger stage than your reserves before you can use them as an example of how your academy is doing well. It's incredibly hard to judge at their age how good they'll become. They could easily all have mediocre careers at best and it will have turned out your academy wasn't actually "booming".

Even Southampton Youth Academy is better than Chelsea's and we are in League One.
