Aston Villa are reportedly keen on signing Marvelous Nakamba.
It looks like Aston Villa have set their sights on a quality footballer.
Zimbabwe lost their Africa Cup of Nations opener to Egypt but a reported Aston Villa target stole the show.
The Chronicle in Zimbabwe claimed this week that Villa and Newcastle United were interested in the Club Brugge midfielder, who looked exceptional against Mo Salah’s Egypt last night.
The 25-year-old was stunning in and out of possession for his country and justified the reports about a £20 million price-tag.
Here’s how fans on Twitter reacted to his display:
HITC Sport wrote earlier this week how Nakamba would give Dean Smith a formidable midfield, dovetailing with John McGinn and Jack Grealish.
Worryingly, if Aston Villa are truly interested then performances like this aren’t what they want to see.
Nakamba was watched by millions last night and it seems plausible that bigger clubs then the Villans may become involved if he continues to impress throughout the tournament.
