Could Aston Villa's Nakamba be the best African signing of the season?

The Zimbabwe international midfielder is steadily establishing himself as a vital cog at the Premier League club, and is proving to be a fine signing

Arriving at Aston Villa as they were wrapping up their pre-season in August, Marvelous Nakamba took his time to break into the starting line-up, but the Midlanders' new boy has gone on to prove why he ought to be considered one of the finest African signings of the season so far.

The 25-year-old defensive midfielder spent the better-part of pre-season injured and inactive while pushing for a move to the Premier League from Club Brugge, with whom he played Champions League football last season.
