Nakamba: Aston Villa midfielder unfazed by PL challenge

Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba says playing in the Uefa Champions League with Club Brugge geared him up for the demanding Premier League.

The Zimbabwean has now made two Premier League appearances for Villa, the latest being against Arsenal last weekend.

His competitive debut for The Claret and Blue Army was in the 6-1 Carabao Cup win over Crewe Alexandra in late August.

Having previously turned out for AS Nancy in the French Ligue 2 and Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse, Nakamba feels the Premier League standard is almost similar to the Uefa Champions League level he experienced with Club Brugge last season.
