    22yo colombian CF who scores 1 in 2 in the Argentine top league. 6ft 2 so would mean Zamora goes down the pecking order.

    The trouble is the work permit, he doesnt meet the requirements so wed have to argue hes a special talent. His wages havent been paid so we might get him for a low fee/free although WHU offered £6.7m before the move broke down.

    I never really thought of him as a target man but then again height isnt everything, HH was 5ft 11 and Vine was over 6 foot and I never saw him win a header.

    I know it completely took me by surprise also, but then again he does seem to score his fair share of headers does Mr Austin

    Hope we sign someone I haven't heard of or seen play, this lad fits the bill.

    Paper trouble, reminds of that Brazilian fella Hughes tried to sign. Not heard of since, lucky escape?

    If WHU couldn't get a Visa for him and Southampton didn't think an appeal would make any difference, why would we get the Visa to go through ?

    Apparently he is a real talent but not a chance as far as I can see, shame.

    QUOTE Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed his interest in Colombian striker Duvan Zapata.

    West Ham had launched a bid for the 22-year-old last month, and had started the work permit application before opting to pull out of a deal earlier this week.

    However, now QPR have stepped in and are ready to try and land the Estudiantes striker.

    "Yeah I've seen him only on clips and everything. We've watched bits and pieces of him. We've watched him play last week on TV against Atletico Madrid. Big lad, goalscorer, powerful," he said.

    When asked about the prospect of a move, he added: "Possibly, am not sure what the situation will be there.

    "It's something we have been talking about. He's one of several options that we've got at the moment."

    The player himself has previously said he was happy to stay with Estudiantes, but he has revealed that he could quit because of unpaid wages.

    "They owe me and my team-mates money and do not seem to be willing to resolve things," he is quoted by Argentine daily Ole.

    "The president lies and they owe me a lot of money, there's no point them improving my contract if they don't pay me what they owe.

    "There is renewed interest from Queens Park Rangers in me. I don't know what will happen with my future and I don't want leave on bad terms with the fans because of the words of the president." UNQUOTE

    He sounds like a good player but really can't see this happening as he not even in the colombian squad.

    He would certainly straighten out the opposition, and Barton & Taarabt.

    There could be some progress on QPR's interest in Colombian striker Duvan Zapata. The 22-year-old's Argentinian club Estudiantes de La Plata claim they have received an offer from Rangers, reportedly around £3.3million. Serie A newcomers Sassuolo have also been linked with Zapata.

    Suppsedly this article translates to:

    "As reported by the portal Pinchapasion, reference site dell'Estudiante, Duvan Zapata will fly this weekend in England to perform the medical examination with QPR. The English club has reached an agreement with the Argentine club on the basis of 6m. The Colombian striker, therefore, does not land in Italy"
