Everton and Crystal Palace are moving for Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba.

New Toffees boss Rafa Benitez and recently installed Palace manager Patrick Vieira are looking to bolster their midfield options this summer and Nakamba is understood to feature highly on their wanted lists, says the Daily Mail.

Nakamba enjoyed a strong finish to last season with stand-out performances in the victories over Tottenham and Chelsea.

From his 13 Premier League appearances last term Villa won nine.

Nakamba arrived at Villa in the summer of 2019 from Belgian club Club Brugge and quickly established himself in Dean Smith's plans.

The Zimbabwe international has made 50 appearances in all competitions during his two seasons at Villa Park and has made himself a big fans' favourite.
