"?Eden Hazard has admitted that he and Belgium teammate Thibaut Courtois want Roma and fellow Red Devils star Radja Nainggolan to join them at Stamford Bridge this summer, with Chelsea said to be working hard on a deal to bring the 28-year-old to England.
Speaking before Belgium's Euro 2016 campaign kicks off against Italy on Monday, the Blues star discussed his hope that Nainggolan would make the switch to London - despite the fact that he would have to give up Champions League football next season to do so.
Eden Hazard: "Radja Nainggolan one of the best in the world, I'd like him at #CFC " https://t.co/695mSP5AR0 #ASRoma #BELITA
International tournaments are notorious for teammates convincing each other to commit to transfers, and "?Hazard said of Nainggolan over the weekend: "Thibaut Courtois and myself would love him to come to Chelsea. I think he is one of the best midfielders in the world."
Nainggolan himself has already admitted that Chelsea are interested in signing him, ahead of Monday's match against incoming Blues manager Antonio Conte - currently ending his reign as head coach of the Italian national side.
The midfielder revealed last week: "[Conte] already wanted me when he was the Juve manager, but I'd already said I would never leave Roma for Juve. Now he tries to get me to Chelsea. I know Chelsea are a big club, but I have to take several things into account. It's not easy to leave Italy behind after 12 years. I won't leave for a small difference."

Hazard also discussed the prospect of facing his new manager on Monday, "?saying: "I just can't wait for tomorrow to come around so I can begin this tournament. I am very happy I can play against my future manager. I hope I can show him everything I am capable of next season."
