Napoli track Patrick Zabi, Paris FC's midfield talent
Napoli are monitoring the Ivorian ahead of January as a possible successor to Frank Anguissa, whose contract expires this season; he has featured little in Ligue 1.
Napoli are monitoring Patrick Zabi, the Ivorian midfielder at Paris FC, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. Just turned 20, he stands 1.91 metres, mixes physical power with technical touch and has been compared to Paul Pogba and Yaya Touré. Paris FC paid 25 million euros for him last summer, a record fee for a player coming from Ligue 2.
In Ligue 1, however, he has barely featured: eight appearances and 115 minutes this season, with one assist. That limited role could open new doors in the transfer market.
Napoli's interest has a clear reason. Frank Anguissa's contract expires at the end of the season, and Zabi is seen as a possible backup now and a long-term replacement for the Cameroonian in 2027/28.
