The former Cagliari man is in his fourth campaign with Roma, and is enjoying his most fruitful season to date.

He has banged in 15 goals in all competitions - the first time he has ever reached double figures in his career, and has also registered six assists.

Nainggolan recently netted in Roma's 3-1 win against leaders Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico as Luciano Spalletti's men closed the gap to five points with two games to play.
