Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan pours cold water on suggestions that he will swap Italy for the Premier League at the end of the season.

Radja Nainggolan has insisted that he will not be leaving Roma at the end of the season.

The Belgian international has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea and a report towards the end of last month claimed that the Blues had a £30m deal in place for the 28-year-old.

However, Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini rejected such claims and now the player himself has revealed that he does not want to depart Italy at the end of the season.

'I'm staying, I'm not moving from here. I'm fine in Rome, I do not want to go," Nainggolan told Sky Sport Italia.

Eighteen-time Belgian international Nainggolan joined Roma from Cagliari in 2014.
