Aston Villa are refusing to sell Marvelous Nakamba after Newcastle United and Crystal Palace made enquiries about the seldom-seen midfielder, as reported by NewsDay.
The two players who arrived from Club Brugge in the summer of 2019 have barely kicked a ball between them this season; albeit for very different reasons.
While Wesley Moraes is yet to return from a ligament injury that has kept him out of action for 12 months, Nakamba has fallen behind Douglas Luiz, John McGinn and Ross Barkley in Dean Smith’s pecking order.

Indeed, Evans says that he’s not heard anything about a new attacking arrival this month, claiming that he’s heard that the club will give Wesley a chance when he is fit.
