TuttoMercatoWeb reported that Vincenzo Italiano has identified Napoli midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa as Beşiktaş's top January target.
Beşiktaş's recent results
Beşiktaş have won only one of their last five games. They lost to Celtic in Europe and Trabzonspor in the league before drawing 2-2 with Kasımpaşa.
Before Beşiktaş's game against Gençlerbirliği on 8 November, they were fifth in the Süper Lig, nine points behind leaders Galatasaray.
Italiano's time at Beşiktaş
Vincenzo Italiano took over at Beşiktaş in June.
TuttoMercatoWeb reported that Italiano wants an experienced, physical midfielder to strengthen Beşiktaş's engine room, with Anguissa at the top of his list.
Anguissa's contract position
Anguissa turns 31, and his Napoli contract expires in June 2027.
Talks over a renewal have stalled, and Napoli have already considered selling Anguissa in January rather than losing him for nothing next summer.
Other clubs linked
Inter and Atalanta have both been linked with Anguissa this season.
