Naingollan- another one among Belgium’s gems

Radja Naingollan is one of the most criminally underrated midfielders in the world. How he isn’t playing for a bigger club than Roma, with respect to the Rome club, is beyond the levels of comprehensible.

He has been one of Serie A’s most consistent performers over the years and it is of little surprise that he was linked to some European giants in the summer, but he has stayed put at the Stadio Olimpico.

A combative box-to-box midfielder, Nainggolan is another one of Belgian’s gems. He is an explosive player who can blast forward with lethality and disrupt the opposition’s defense. This, at times, make him guilty of being out of position, but his fine tackling skills allow him to recover from messy situations.

Had he been playing in the Premier League instead of Roma, we would not have heard the end of his praises.
