The Blues have long been linked with a move for the Belgium international, with incoming manager Antonio Conte a huge fan of the Roma star.

Indeed, Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini was in London on Friday for talks between both clubs as a deal for Nainggolan edges closer.

 

Conte is also exploring the possibility of bringing Roma defender Kostas Manolas to Stamford Bridge, though the priority at this time remains Nainggolan.
