The 25-year-old Zimbabwean joined Villa in the summer transfer window for £10 million from Club Brugge in Belgium (per Transfermarkt). Since his move to the Premier League, Nakamba has made seven appearances in all competitions, six in the Premier League and one in the Carabao Cup (per Transfermarkt). Despite only playing a handful of games for Villa since his arrival, Nakamba has already left a big impression on some Villa fans.
Nakamba forever

What do we think?
It’s always good to see a new signing in the Premier League do well at their club, and Nakamba seems to have settled in well at Villa. His passing success percentage for the City game was 91.4% according to WhoScored. If Nakamba were to continue on this good run of form since his arrival, he may become one of the bargains of the season.
