Luton boss Edwards delighted with 'Prem leader' Nakamba

Luton boss Rob Edwards is delighted with the form of Marvelous Nakamba.

The midfielder has 26 tackles this season, the highest in the entire Premier League.

Edwards, ahead of tonight's clash with Burnley, said: “It shows that maybe we haven't got the ball as much as others that we have to make more tackles as well, we're going to need him to keep doing that!

"He was excellent, I love that saying, 70 percent of the world is covered by water, the other 30 percent by Marvelous Nakamba, I love that.

"I saw that again the other day, I was laughing to myself, as he's brilliant.

"He's some man, he just goes about his business in a real humble way.

"His performance was top the other day, really, really influential.

"He does the stuff that people won't always see, and doesn't want all the praise for it either, he just gets on and is a real top player, a top, top guy."
