Blues star wants fellow Belgian countryman with him in England
Eden Hazard has admitted he wants his Belgian teammate Radja Nainggolan to join at Chelsea in England this summer.
Despite a terrible campaign from Hazard last season, it’s still looking like he will remain a Chelsea player for the 2016/17 season. He finished the 2015-16 campaign on a high, scoring four goals in five matches, and will be hoping to impress at Euro 2016 with Belgium. The team play their first game of the tournament tonight against Italy.
Hazard has admitted that his Belgian teammate, Nainggolan, who has been continuously linked with Chelsea already since the end of the domestic season, is someone he’d be keen to link up with in a Blue shirt, and also says his Chelsea and Belgium teammate Thibaut Courtois feels the same.
“Thibaut (Courtois) and I want Radja Nainggolan to join Chelsea, but we are not in charge of the situation,” the 2014-15 PFA Premier League Player of the Year was quoted as saying by HLN journalist Kristof Terreur.
Nainggolan, however, appears to be keen to stay put at the Stadio Olimpico.
“Where do I see myself in the next season? I have always declared openly my will: I’m fine at Roma, I like the city of Roma, that’s where I see myself,” he told La Gazzetta dello Sport, per the Daily Mail, last week.
