Luton in talks to re-sign Nakumba from Aston Villa

Luton are in talks to re-sign Marvellous Nakambafrom Aston Villa.

Ideally they want him on a permanent deal but cannot match his Villa wages and therefore another loan is more likely.


Luton manager Rob Edwards and the club have made keeping together their core players from last season the top priority.


Nakamba became one of those, albeit on a loan during the second half of the campaign, and was integral to how they played.



Luton are prepared to heighten the top bracket of earners at the club, but are also mindful not to put themselves in a difficult financial position should they go straight back down.


They are therefore having to strike a careful balance during wage negotiations and want to include relegation decreases.


Luton want to sign two new midfielders and have other more defensive midfielders on their list including Bournemouth’s Ben Pearson.


Pearson, who spent last season on loan at Stoke and has one year left on his contract, also has interest from Championship clubs that may push for promotion themselves next term.


Luton also want a playmaker as well as a new centre-back and a right wing-back.
