Anguissa Is Back on Beşiktaş's Midfield Radar

A new target has emerged in Beşiktaş's search for a midfielder. According to claims in the Italian press, the black-and-whites are looking for a player who is effective in duels, can keep the ball under pressure, and can support the attack with the balls he wins. According to information relayed by TuttomercatoWEB, one of the names seen as the best fit for this profile is Cameroonian star Anguissa. The club had previously made an attempt to bring the player into its squad.

Anguissa's contract with Napoli ending at the end of the season opens a window of opportunity in the January transfer period. Stalled renewal talks could make it easier for Beşiktaş to re-enter the race. While reports from the earlier attempt recall that Napoli found the offer it received insufficient, how warmly the Italian club views letting the player go during the winter months will determine how the process unfolds.

Beşiktaş is reportedly not alone in the pursuit. Interest in Anguissa is also said to come from other European leagues, especially Serie A clubs, as well as from Arab clubs. Two key issues stand out for January: the transfer fee Napoli will demand, and which league the player wants to continue his career in.
