"There Is More To Nakamba's Aston Villa Exit Than What People See" Mpandare
Warriors general manager Wellington Mpandare has said Marvelous Nakamba‘s loan move to Luton Town was “very good” adding that there was more to the midfielder’s departure from Aston Villa than what people see and think.
Nakamba completed a six-month loan move to the English Championship side on the transfer deadline day on Tuesday a move which triggered varying comments.
Some argue that Nakamba should have chosen EPL side Fulham, and Championship sides West Bromwich Albion and Watford which are said to have tried to make a last-minute move for the Warriors midfielder.
There were also reports suggesting that a number of teams from Belgium, including his former paymasters Club Brugge, made inquiries about the former Bantu Rovers player but it was Luton who offered a better deal.
Mpandare believes the 29-year-old has made the right decision by moving to the second-tier side who are fighting for promotion to the English Premier League (EPL). He told NewsDay:
It’s a very good move for Marve, which has got my full blessing.
There is more to this move than what people see and think. Unfortunately, I cannot divulge all the details to the Press, but people should know that Marve made a brilliant move in terms of his career development and of course for his personal life.
This is a chance for him to restart his career. For some reason, things were not moving well for him at Villa so this is a chance for him to get some game time which is the most important thing for a footballer and to market himself. His talents are undoubted and it’s just a matter of time before Villa or another league team realizes and get him. He still has a lot to offer and I’m sure he will do well.
Luton are currently 4th in the Championship log standings and if they maintain their position until the end of the season, they would have secured a playoff spot for promotion to the Premier League.
Nakamba has also said he is happy to be at Luton Town where he will link up with Henri Lansbury from Aston Villa, Ethan Horvath whom he played with at Club Brugge and fellow countryman Admiral Muskwe, who has been recalled from his loan spell at Sky Bet League One side Fleetwood Town.
