André-Frank Zambo Anguissa completes contract extension with Napoli..




Napoli has announced on its official website on Saturday that the club have completed the extended the contract of Cameroon international defensive midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa.


According to an official statement from Napoli, Zambo Anguissa, whose contract was originally scheduled to expire next summer, signed a two-year long-term contract with the club which runs until the summer of 2025, with an option to extend the contract for a further two years until 2027.


The 26-year-old Zambo Anguissa was born on November 16, 1995 in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon. He is 1.84 meters tall and plays as a defensive midfielder. He joined the Reims youth academy in 2014 and was signed by Marseille the following year. He made his first-team debut in the Europa League in September 2015. He has performed well since his debut, and even reached the Europa League final with the team in 2018.


In the summer of 2018, Zambo Anguissa joined Fulham for 24million, but after Fulham were relegated from the Premier League in 2019, he was loaned to Villarreal, during which he scored twice in the La Liga.

When he returned to Fulham in 2020, Zambo Anguissa performed well, but Fulham once again failed to escape the fate of relegation from the Premier League. Thus, in the summer of 2021, Zambo Anguissa joined Napoli on loan with an option to be bought out.


After playing 25 times last season and contributing 2 assists, Zambo Anguissa was selected as one of the best players in Serie A of the year by Italian pundits, reporters, fans and even British outlet Sky Sports for his excellent performance. Hence, it was no surprise that Napoli announced in May this year that the club had exercised the option to buy out his ownership for £15million.


So far this season, Zambo Anguissaa has played 17 times for Napoli in all competitions, scoring 3 goals and making 5 assists, being one of the highly rated players for I Partenopei who were flying high both domestically and in the Champions League.
