Chelsea Agree Deal With Roma For Radja Nainggolan

Chelsea have agreed a deal to bring Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan to Stamford Bridge for a reported fee of £28m.

The Belgian international will become the first new arrival of the Antonio Conte era and will arrive on a five-year-deal from the 'Giallorossi'. The deal is believed to have been concluded in the last 48 hours and comes just weeks after Roma's sporting director Walter Sabatini was spotted outside Stamford Bridge after a meeting with Chelsea's transfer bosses.

Nainggolan isn't the only Serie A player on incoming manager Conte's radar, either, with Juventus centre-half Leonardo Bonucci and Nainggolan's Roma teammate Kostas Manolas also on the Italy manager's shortlist.
