Ah, that’s right it was Thursday evening and, after being teased so much by the Zimbabwe media, Marvelous Nakamba signing for Luton Town was finally announced by the Official Site.
The deal, after his performances last season, was the deal that the Hatters support had hoped most to get across the line.
Nakamba becomes the fourth player to join Luton Town with the defensive midfielder putting pen-to-paper on a 3-year deal.
As seems to be the norm these days, the fee paid for Marvelous hasn’t been disclosed with the term ‘undisclosed‘ once again being used.
But,searching through all the media smog, £4 million seems to be the figure favoured, which is value for money in my opinion.
After joining Luton Town, on loan from Aston Villa, in the January transfer window, I reckon his silky ball-winning skills were the difference between promotion being achieved and remaining in the EFL Championship, I rate him that highly.
Another factor relating to the signing being completed is that the Hatters will now benefit from obtaining a new army of support with Zimbabweans now set to follow his every move in the top-flight of English football.
After coping so admirably with the threat presented by the EFL Championship, let’s hope Marvelous can continue his fine form as the Hatters look to make an impact in the Premier League.
Welcome back Marvelous my son.
