Smith will be seeking to bolster his squad following Villa’s promotion to the Premier League last season. If they’re to survive, and thrive, back in the top flight, then they must prepare well this summer. Nakamba would add some much-needed extra depth to their midfield ranks and would also bring steel and defensive discipline to the middle of the park.

Given his tough time of late at Club Brugge, there may be some doubts about Nakamba. The fact he has never played in the Premier League before may also raise a few concerns. However, he is undoubtedly a player with some real potential.

Plenty of Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reactions to the report linking their club with Nakamba.
