5 world class players who don't get the attention they deserve

Roma might have crashed out of the Champions League after an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Porto at home, but Nainggolan once again put in a top quality performance and reminded all of us as to why he is probably the most underrated player in the world right now.

A box-to-box midfielder capable of contributing in both attack and defence, Nainggolan is always willing to put in a shift for the team and is probably the first name on the teamsheet for Roma.

The Belgian midfielder makes last ditch tackles and scores spectacular goals with equal ease. He was also Belgium’s best player in Euro 2016 and it is easy to see why Chelsea wanted to secure his services so desperately.

Nainggolan’s all-action displays at the heart of midfield, definitely deserves more praise and recognition.
