Karl Toko Ekambi will be key in him adapting.

At the moment I’m understanding a bit more and I think I will adapt well. After speaking a lot to Toko, he said a lot of good things about the club. He told me the truth. I’m at a club that I like a lot. I’m confident that I can have a good season and I am only thinking about now.”
Anguissa has already represented Villarreal on the pitch, in the last friendly against Schalke 04, where he played in the middle of the pitch alongside Santi Cazorla. “It’s a pleasure to play alongside a player as talented as Cazorla.

Roig: “Anguissa is going to help us a lot”
Villarreal president Roig wanted to welcome the new Yellows player and recognised that he has a lot of hope for him: “He’s keen to help us have a good season. I’m welcoming him and hope it’s a good year for him and for Villarreal. I’m sure he will help us a lot.”
