Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan has revealed he is a fan of the Premier League.

The Belgium international was speaking after his side's 3-3 draw with Chelsea in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Premier League champions threw away a two-goal lead at Stamford Bridge, before Eden Hazard cancelled out goals from Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov.

Nainggolan said: "Yes it's a good league, beautiful stadiums, good atmospheres in the stadium, but at the moment my head is only there [Rome]."

Blues head coach Antonio Conte has admitted in the past he has tried to sign the 29-year-old and Nainggolan rates the former Juventus coach highly.

Nainggolan said: "I think he is a really good coach because his results over the last years speaks for himself.

"But in the end I have to do what I have to do and that's playing for Roma and giving my maximum for Rome."

The Serie A side sit fifth in the table and nine points off the top after losing 1-0 to leaders Napoli on Saturday.

The top two in Group C will meet again on October 31.
