Warrior midfielders, Marvelous Nakamba has reportedly failed to turn up for pre-season training at his Belgian club, Club Brugge in an attempt to force a move to England.
Numerous reports last month suggested that Premier League newcomers Aston Villa are keen on signing Nakamba and ready to part with £20 million for his services.
However, the latest report claims that Villa made a €10 million offer for the Zimbabwean international which was rejected by Brugge.
Nakamba is said to have received assurances that he would be allowed to leave the club but Brugge has of late been changing goalposts.
