Marvelous Nakamba leaves Aston Villa for Luton Town

Nakamba joined Villa from Club Brugge for £11million in 2019 and went on to make 68 appearances in all competitions.

His final outing was as a substitute in the 3-2 defeat at Manchester City on the final day of the 2021-22 season and he found himself relegated down the pecking order last term, first under Steven Gerrard and then Unai Emery.

Nakamba made 20 appearances for Luton after joining them in January and scored a penalty in the Championship play-off final shoot-out which secured their return to the top flight after more than three decades.
