Why Napoli’s Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa can request summer transfer Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa has been a stellar player for Serie A side Napoli since joining from Fulham. He has helped in two Scudetto wins under different managers but there are signs he could now ask for a transfer in the summer. The midfielder has had an injury-prone campaign so far with the Partenopei, who are second in the Serie A right now.

La Repubblica – via AreaNapoli , note that Zambo Anguissa was actually close to being handed a new deal by the Naples club last year. Soon, he picked up an injury during international break and Napoli’s intentions then changed as they turned away from a renewal. This seems to have annoyed the Cameroonian, who was then certain about staying at Napoli.

Parties had met several times to discuss terms and a deal was appearing close. The club’s decision to back out can now force him into asking for a transfer at the end of the campaign. With Zambo Anguissa unhappy, Milan could be one of the suitors in line to keep him in Italy.

The ex-Fulham man can also attract clubs in England, with Sunderland previously interested. Zambo Anguissa will leave as a Napoli hero All in all, it feels like the end of a special relationship that yielded silverware and quite an upturn in Zambo Anguissa’s career too. He turned into one of the best midfielders in Serie A as a result, with Antonio Conte also having used him as a receiver in the final last season.

He was deployed a deeper role by Luciano Spalletti but the Cameroon international thrived even then, showing immense ability to carry the ball progressively. While the relationship may not end well but fans will remember Zambo Anguissa as a special player. Kaustubh Pandey I GIFN
