Chelsea continue to motor along in the Premier League this season and although they sit well behind league leaders Manchester City, the Blues are still putting teams to the sword and keeping themselves in the mix under Antonio Conte.
The Italian manager will be keen to win some trophies at the Bridge before he eventually decides to leave, and to do so, he knows full well he might need to add some quality to the ranks over the next 12 months.
Our landlord here in the Tavern is a big fan of Conte though, and despite some Blues fans not quite feeling him this year, there’s every chance he could be here in England for the long haul if Roman Abramhovic decides to stick with his man.
Next year represents a chance in both the January and summer window for Chelsea to go and make a big splash in the transfer market, and one player our landlord thinks could be the perfect signing is Roma midfielder Radja Nainggolan, who has been superb for the Italians for a number of seasons now.
The Belgian midfielder is not the most glamorous of midfielders, but what he lacks in skill and finesse, he more than makes up for in his ability to dominate midfield and simply bully teams.
However, Nainggolan does have the spectacular in his locker, and on his day is capable of firing in tremendous goals to get his team out of the mire. If Chelsea are serious about competing in Europe and in the Premier League, then he is exactly the sort of midfielder they should look to sign.
