Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is a huge fan of Roma’s midfielder Radja Nainggolan, and Chelsea have made attempts to sign the Belgian international, all to no avail.

However, his half-brother Manuel Noboa has revealed that he has attempted to persuade the midfielder to move.

“I have made it loud and clear on numerous occasions that he should go to Chelsea,” he told gva.be. “The Premier League is the ideal environment for his temperament.

“Unfortunately he loves Rome too much. Years ago I had to convince our mother to let him go and play football but in the end it was worth it and he has made it into the big time.”
