Roma star Nainggolan plays down Chelsea talk

Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has hosed down speculation linking him with a move to Chelsea.

The Evening Standard recently reported Nainggolan is set to be the subject of a £35million bid from the Blues this summer, as new manager Antonio Conte looks to bolster his midfield.

However, Nainggolan took to Twitter shortly after to rebuff suggestions he had already told friends he would be moving to the Premier League next season.

"If I have not yet spoken with any club, why would I tell my friends I had?" Nainggolan tweeted.

"Come on Roma and come on Belgium tonight!"
