Sunderland is reportedly interested in Napoli midfielder Frank Zambo Anguissa, who has been described as a more complete player than Kevin De Bruyne. As Anguissa's contract enters its final year, his future is a hot topic among fans and analysts alike. The Cameroonian international, capped 67 times by his country, joined Napoli on loan nearly five years ago and made a permanent switch in the summer of 2022. Since then, he has helped Napoli secure two Serie A titles and has featured prominently in European competitions, including 24 appearances in the Champions League and Europa League.

With Napoli triggering a contract extension, Anguissa will enter the last 12 months of his deal, but discussions regarding fresh terms are reportedly on hold. According to AreaNapoli, a transfer fee of around €20 million would be necessary for any club looking to secure his services. AC Milan is also said to be monitoring the situation, as they prepare for next season's Europa League.

Former Napoli player Gaetano Fontana weighed in on the debate, stating that he would choose Anguissa over De Bruyne, praising his versatility and tactical understanding. Fontana highlighted Anguissa's ability to adapt to various coaching styles and his effectiveness in both defensive and attacking phases of the game. This endorsement adds to the growing excitement around Sunderland's potential pursuit of the talented midfielder, who could significantly bolster their squad in the Championship.
