Sunderland Eyes Napoli Midfielder Frank Anguissa for Summer Move
In a recent report, Il Mattino highlighted Sunderland’s interest in securing the services of Napoli midfielder Frank Anguissa during this summer transfer window. The Black Cats appear eager to make the Cameroonian midfield player one of their key acquisitions.
Anguissa’s Impressive Form In Serie A
Throughout the previous season, Anguissa emerged as a pivotal figure for Napoli, showcasing an impressive skill set in the midfield. The 30-year-old player netted four goals and provided two assists in 22 appearances across multiple competitions for the Naples-based club.
Anguissa has established himself as one of the most seasoned central midfielders in Serie A. Consequently, Sunderland could benefit tremendously by bringing him to the Stadium of Light this month.
His current deal with Napoli runs through the end of next season, potentially allowing Sunderland to sign him at an affordable price during this transfer window.
What Will Anguissa Bring To Sunderland?
Anguissa is known for his ability to tackle effectively and regain possession for his team. He clears threats efficiently when opponents press forward and exhibits strong passing skills from midfield.
Primarily operating as a box-to-box midfielder, he is also able to function as a defensive midfielder if required by his manager. With prior experience in the Premier League, Anguissa should acclimatize quickly to his new environment at the Wearside club.
Sunderland’s head coach Regis Le Bris can expect Anguissa to enhance the quality and depth of the midfield, positioning him to contend for a regular starting role at the Stadium of Light next season.
At 30, Anguissa likely has several productive years ahead of him, making a short-term contract with the Black Cats a sensible pursuit before the transfer window closes. His extensive experience could prove invaluable as Sunderland aims to compete effectively in the coming seasons.
In a recent report, Il Mattino mentioned that Sunderland are keen on recruiting Napoli midfielder Frank Anguissa this summer. It has been claimed that the Black Cats are eager to land the Cameroonian midfield ace in this transfer window.
Anguissa’s Impressive Form In Serie A
Anguissa served as an important member of Napoli’s squad in the previous campaign when he put in a string of impressive performances for them at the centre of the park. The 30-year-old found the back of the net four times and picked up two assists in 22 appearances for the Naples-based outfit last season in multiple competitions.

The Cameroonian talent is currently one of the most experienced central midfielders in Serie A. Therefore, Sunderland would do well to lure him to the Stadium of Light this month.
His current contract at the Italian club will run out at the end of next season, which could open the door for the Black Cats to sign him on the cheap in this transfer window.

What Will Anguissa Bring To Sunderland?
Anguissa is a tough-tackling midfielder who can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team in the middle of the park. He usually clears the danger when the opposition are on the front foot and is a good passer as well from midfield.

The Cameroonian sensation mainly plays as a box-to-box midfielder but can also serve as a defensive midfielder if told to do so by his manager. He has already got some experience in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at the Wearside club.
We can expect Anguissa to bring more quality and depth to Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris’ midfield department. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Stadium of Light next season.
At 30, Anguissa might still have a few good years left in him to play at a high level. Hence, it makes sense for the Black Cats to try and sign him on a short-term contract before the end of this transfer window. Anguissa has the experience to help Sunderland compete across all fronts over the next couple of years.
