Source: bleacherreport.com - Wednesday, March 22, 2017 Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has confirmed that Chelsea were interested in signing him last summer and has refused to rule out a potential move to the Premier League at the end of the season. However, he insisted that he remains content playing for Roma in Serie A. Speaking ahead of Belgium's upcoming international against Greece, the 28-year-old Nainggolan praised the Premier League and revealed that he was contacted by Antonio Conte when the Italian manager took over at Chelsea last summer, per Sky Sports News HQ's Gary Cotterill : Give me the sun I will come [to England]. I'm happy. Why give that away to begin again? I watch [the Premier League] a lot. A lot of my [Belgium] team-mates play there. It's the best league in the world. We have to make choices in life. I am having a good season. When the window opens we will talk about it again. Yes. I talked to [Conte]. They were really interested and wanted me over there. That's all I can say. Chelsea have continued to be linked with a move for Nainggolan throughout the 2016-17 season, per the Times' Gary Jacob . He would add even more quality to a Chelsea engine room bursting with talent. One of the best box-to-box midfielders in Europe, Belgian Nainggolan is a defensive giant in the central-midfield position, per WhoScored.com: But he also makes a huge contribution in attack—he has netted nine goals and provided three assists in Serie A in 2016-17, per WhoScored .
