Aston Villa defender Frederic Guilbert has sent a tongue-in-cheek reply to a Twitter post by the club about Marvelous Nakamba, jokingly describing his fellow summer arrival as “dangerous”.

Guilbert and Nakamba both linked up with the Villa Park outfit following the club’s promotion to the Premier League, the former having officially joined in January but remaining at Caen on loan until the end of the season, and the latter joining in August from Club Brugge.

With Nakamba quickly becoming a fan favourite at Villa, the club’s Twitter feed posted a picture of the Zimbabwe international and asked supporters to identify the player “without using his name”.

And Guilbert offered the following response, hinting that the defensive midfielder may be a bit of a handful on the training ground:

Some Villa fans had their say in response:

Nakamba moved to Villa for an undisclosed fee – reported to be £10.8million by Transfermarkt – on a contract until the summer of 2024, and to date he has made four Premier League appearances for Dean Smith’s side, all consecutive starts, from the West Ham stalemate to the thrashing of Norwich before the international break (Transfermarkt).
