André-Frank Zambo Anguissa is gradually regaining his rhythm with SSC Napoli after a period of absence due to injuries. Bernard Tchoutang, a former Cameroonian international, is closely following this resurgence of the midfielder, emphasizing his importance to both the club and the Cameroonian national team.
Tchoutang shared his thoughts on Anguissa's situation with Africafoot.com, noting that the player's long absence had a significant impact. "A three-month absence is a long time, and it takes time to recover. But Zambo Anguissa is very professional, a powerful player, and he's getting back to his best," he said. He also highlighted the consequences of this absence, both for Naples and for the Cameroon national team: "His absence was detrimental to Napoli and the national team because we know how important he is on the pitch".
Despite this difficult period, Tchoutang remains optimistic about Anguissa's potential. "When he is at his best, he can contribute a lot because he has great qualities. He is a very good player, physical and with good technique," he added. He even compares the midfielder to Marc-Vivien Foé, highlighting his ability to defend, attack, score, and pass.
The question of Anguissa's future at Napoli remains open. Under contract until June 2027, several scenarios are possible. The player could choose to see out his contract with the Italian club, which, according to Tchoutang, is part of the "Italian Top 5" and will participate in the Champions League again next season. However, he could also be tempted by a new challenge, potentially in the English Premier League.
Rumors have circulated regarding a possible departure of Anguissa, with clubs like Fenerbahce, Besiktas, and Al-Qadsiyah expressing interest. However, Napoli seems keen to keep the player, aware of his importance in midfield. Negotiations are reportedly underway to extend his contract, potentially until 2029, which demonstrates the club's desire to secure his long-term future.
Anguissa's versatility is a major asset for Napoli. Capable of contributing both defensively and offensively, he is a key element of the tactical system put in place by coach Antonio Conte. His ability to recover balls, win duels, and restart the game makes him one of the most reliable midfielders in Serie A.
While waiting to know the outcome of the contract negotiations, Zambo Anguissa continues to focus on his return to form and contribute to Naples. His experience and leadership are valuable to the club, which aims to return to the top of Italian football.
The Cameroonian midfielder, aged 30, has played more than 120 games in all competitions since his permanent arrival in Naples in 2022. His impact on the team's game is undeniable, and his return to form is excellent news for Napoli supporters.
Zambo Anguissa's future therefore remains uncertain, but his talent and importance to Naples are beyond doubt. It remains to be seen whether the club will manage to convince him to extend his adventure in Italy or whether the player will opt for a new challenge.
