Aston Villa have reportedly submitted a bid for Marvelous Nakamba. , Nakamba is desperate to force an exit after Aston Villa bid £9m for the Club Brugge star.

Dean Smith is in the market for a new holding midfielder. After addressing a number of areas this summer (striker, left-back, wingers, central defenders, etc.), he has turned his attention to the defensive midfield department.

After Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak left, Aston Villa need fresh faces in that department. Other players, such as Douglas Luiz and Kalvin Phillips, have been linked with Villa this summer.

But Nakamba could be another option. Aston Villa are eager to sign the Zimbabwe international but Club Brugge reportedly want more than £10m. Having already signed Wesley Moraes from Club Brugge this summer, it will be interesting to see whether Nakamba follows his former team-mate to the West Midlands.

Nakamba is keen on the move to Aston Villa, according to this report. The 25-year-old has been refusing to train with his squad in pre-season in a bid to push through this move, which he wants to complete as soon as possible.

Here are some tweets from Aston Villa fans discussing the potential capture of Nakamba.
