Napoli celebrate Anguissa: Europe's top-scoring midfielder with 4 goals | OneFootball

If Napoli is at the top of the table, part of the credit also goes to Zambo Anguissa. The Cameroonian scored the goal against Lecce that secured 3 points for the Azzurri, but this isn’t the first time it has happened this season. In fact, the former Fulham player has already scored 4 goals in 9 league matches: more than any other midfielder in the various European leagues. And to think that before Conte, he had scored just 5 goals in 116 matches with Napoli.

Anguissa is the real top player of this Napoli: what numbers for the Cameroonian!

Antonio Conte has completely transformed Frank Zambo Anguissa. The Cameroonian, who has never made goal-scoring his strong suit, has scored 10 goals in 49 games since the coach from Lecce arrived on the bench. It’s quite impressive when you consider that in his previous 116 matches with the Azzurri, he had scored just 5, including a brace against Torino in the Scudetto-winning year. This year he has started off brilliantly and has now become indispensable for the Partenopei. In the summer, with the arrival of De Bruyne, many believed he would end up on the bench to make room for the Belgian, but instead, Conte, unwilling to do without Anguissa, switched to a 4-1-4-1 formation, sacrificing McTominay on the left just to allow the former Fulham man to play. And the results are happily coming in.

In 9 league matches, the class of ’95 has already scored 4 times, often proving decisive, particularly against Cagliari and Lecce, both of which ended 1-0 in Napoli’s favor, with the goal coming from the Cameroonian. His dominance in midfield is also evident from the fact that he has already won the MVP award 5 times at the start of this season. In short, incredible numbers and statistics for a player with his characteristics. Problems are not lacking at Napoli, with the many injuries Antonio Conte has to deal with, but at least he can count on an extra Zambo Anguissa.

Among the top 5 European leagues, he is the one with the most goals at the start of this season: 4, compared to the likes of Joao Neves, Enzo Fernandez, Bruno Guimaraes, and Nadiem Amiri (former Genoa), all with 3.
