Chelsea have loaned Dutch midfielder Nathan Ake to Reading for a month.
LOANER: Ake has joined Reading
The window for Championship clubs to complete loan signing closes tomorrow, and Steve Clarke has moved to reinforce his squad by drafting in the Blues youngster.
"I am delighted to add a player of Nathan's quality to our first team squad at this important time of the season," said the Reading boss, who was assitant to Jose Mourinho during his first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge.
"He has been a fixture in Chelsea's first team squad this season and we are grateful that Chelsea have allowed him to join us here at Reading to get some competitive minutes on the pitch."
"He is a very talented player who I have been aware of for some time and I look forward to working with Nathan in the coming weeks."
Ake joins club team-mate Nathaniel Chalobah at the Madejski Stadium, with the England youth international on loan at the Royals until the summer.
Reading will face Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley during Ake's loan spell, but the player is ineligible having played against Watford in round three.
