Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba becomes loan target for Turkish club Trabzonspor as manager Dean Smith looks to prioritise players with Premier League experience

Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba is a loan target for Turkish club Trabzonspor.

The Zimbabwean had a mixed first year in the Premier League, making 23 starts as his club avoided relegation on the final day of the season, but he still has admirers across the continent.

Trabzonspor have also looked at Villa winger Trezeguet as they look to make an assault on European football after finishing second in the Super Lig in 2019-20, and they believe Nakamba, 26, would fit their midfield requirements.

Aston Villa paid Club Brugge about £11m for midfielder Marvelous Nakamba last summer

Villa paid Club Brugge about £11million for Nakamba as part of the £140m they spent on transfer after promotion from the Championship, and it is unlikely Trabzonspor would offer a similar amount.
