Using a variable in Python selenium XPATH

Question

I have a variable as follows:

client_Id = driver.execute_script("return getCurrentClientId()")

I am trying to replace the last value in the XPATH (after clientid=2227885) i.e.2227885 with the variable client_Id. So:

prog_note = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@href='/admin/client/cp_progressnotes.jsp?ESOLclientid=2227885']")))

Should have the number component, in this case, 2227885 replaced with client_Id variable.

How could I go about this? I tried the following to no success

prog_note = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[contains(@href, 'cp_progressnotes', "+client_Id + "')]")))

xppath = "//a[@href='/admin/client/cp_progressnotes.jsp?ESOLclientid={}']".format(client_Id )

prog_note = wait.until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, xpath)))
