The 29-year-old Belgium international is one of the best midfielders in Europe at the moment. He joined Roma during the summer of 2014 and soon became an integral part of their squad.

A typical box-to-box midfielder with pace, stamina and aggressive tackling in his armoury, he can play anywhere across midfield and has the capability to help both defensively and in attack too.

He currently earns £70,000-a-week which is significantly less than the club's highest earner, in Stephan El Shaarawy. He has been one of the most sought-after players in recent seasons, with a whole host of European sides interested in his services - including both Chelsea and Manchester United.

He has been selected twice in the Serie A Team of the Year over the past three years and can definitely be an asset to Europe's finest. With his passing abilities, vision and the strengths detailed above, there's no reason why he should be earning such low wages in comparison to players like Barcelona's Paulinho and Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera.
