Chelsea return to talks for Roma firebrand Nainggolan

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan is back on the radar of Chelsea.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has wanted him to swap Serie A for the Premier League ever since he filled the Stamford Bridge hotseat in 2016.

Conte has already added Ross Barkley to his midfield ranks during the winter transfer window, tying up a £15m deal yesterday.

TMW says Nainggolan joining Chelsea is a distinct possibility this month.

And that's apparently because the bond between the 29-year-old and Roma has been damaged. Chelsea are said to have returned "to the office", suggesting contact has been made.
