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.
