Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella has shared his delight after having drawn comparisons to Inter midfielder Radja Nainggolan.

“It is nice to be compared to him. He is one of the strongest midfielders in Europe, but we are different, he has more strength and perhaps maybe more explosiveness too. We are equal in the fact that when we enter the field we give our all,” the 21-year-old starlet said in an interview with Rai Sport.

Barella has drawn interest from Inter among other Italian clubs recently but also interest from the Premier League and he shared his thoughts on the league.

“It is one of the most beautiful leagues, if not the most beautiful in Europe.”

The Italian international is regarded as one of the top prospects within Italy at the moment and has made nine appearances across all competitions for the Sardinian outfit this season, scoring one goal in the process.
