After almost two years on the pitch for the reserve team, he made his debut for the team on the penultimate match day of the 2014/15 season on May 9, 2014, when he was in the starting lineup in the 3-1 home win over SCO Angers . He was also used in the last game of the season and left Nancy afterwards. He moved to the Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse Arnheim , where he signed a four-year contract. On September 27, 2014, he made his debut in the 6-2 win against FC Dordrecht when he came into the game for Kelvin Leerdam . In the 2015/16 season , Nakamba became an increasingly important part of the Vitesses starting lineup, in which he was also able to score his first goal in professional football. In the 2-2 draw against BV De Graafschap , Nakamba achieved the interim 1-0 lead Vitesses. This season he has already played in 30 league games. In the 2016/17 season he won the Dutch Cup with Vitesse for the first time in the club's 125-year history . This season he played in 31 league games, in which he scored a goal.
