And Blues boss Conte has been impressed with the youngster and is considering making him part of his Premier League title bid.
He said: “Ake is a really good player and now in the last games he's started to play with Bournemouth and is playing every game.
“Honestly, I'm evaluating his situation, because Ake could be an interesting opportunity in this window for us.”
Ake has started the last eight games where he has been eligible for Eddie Howe.
His run started in November and the only game he has missed was against Chelsea as he could not play under the terms of his loan.
