Fulham are open to selling midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa in the summer transfer window, according to Foot Mercato.

The 23-year-old joined the Cottagers last summer after establishing his reputation as a combative defensive midfielder at Marseille during the previous season, but he has failed to reach the same heights in West London.

He was signed for a £30million fee during the club's spending spree following Championship promotion, but like many of his fellow arrivals, he under-performed as the club were relegated.

It remains to be seen where Anguissa could move this summer, but it is likely Fulham will struggle to re-coup the full sum they paid Marseille for his services in August.

So, would Anguissa be a big loss for Fulham as they prepare for life in the Championship?

We take a closer look...

The Cameroon international managed 22 appearances under three different managers last season, as he failed to establish himself in the side until the club's final run-in. But it should be remembered his season was hampered by an ankle injury during the winter period, and his qualities did eventually start to shine through under Scott Parker's stewardship at the end of a difficult campaign.

Anguissa arrived in London with a reputation for his ability to break up play by winning the ball for his side in midfield. His stats suggest he certainly showed glimpses of his capabilities at Fulham, as he recorded an average of 2.2 tackles per game and 1.5 interceptions per game. The fact he also recorded an average of 1.9 dribbles per match indicates he can drive his side forward from deep on occasions. These statistics reveal what Anguissa is capable of, but there is an argument that he should have been showing more for Fulham given the level of prestige he achieved in Ligue 1, and the fee paid for him.

The midfielder stands at six foot tall, so his aerial ability is not where he thrives the most, but he did still win an average of one aerial duel per match. But it is his passing ability which appears to show where his real strengths lie, as he completed an average of 47.4 passes per game with an impressive 87.4% pass success rate.

This reflects how Anguissa showed some promise during his season at Fulham, but it should be noted his performances in the latter half of the campaign improving these stats vastly. However, Fulham should not really have any issue with letting him go. He is unlikely to be keen on the prospect of playing second-tier football next season and it would also free up space on the club's wage bill. Anguissa has ultimately failed to live up to expectations at the club, and the Cottagers would now be better off recruiting a Championship-standard player to replace him.
