Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba is reportedly closing in on a permanent transfer move to Luton Town.
That’s according to Zimbabwe outlet H-Metro who claim a reliable source in Nakamba’s camp has confirmed the news. The Zimbabwe favourite joined the Hatters on loan in January and played a significant role in their promotion campaign to the Premier League.
Rob Edwards’ side defeated Coventry City 6-5 on penalties in the play-off final at Wembley and Luton have been keen to sign the midfielder on a permanent basis. Recent reports claimed that Villa had no plans to reintegrate Nakamba into the squad this summer.
Villa want to recoup some money for the midfielder who is approaching the final year of his contract and H-Metro adds that Edwards is “playing a crucial role in convincing” the midfielder over a move.
A source close to Nakamba is said to have told H-Metro: “The deal is now almost done and if I’m to break it into percentages, I will say it’s now at 99.9 percent. What is only now left is the completion of the paperwork but Nakamba has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be elsewhere next season, besides Luton Town.”
