Duvan Zapata UdineseNapoli striker Duvan Zapata is being linked with a move to Premier League side Arsenal.

The 25-year-old impressed while on loan last season at Udinese and looks set for a promotion to a club with loftier expectations.

According to the London Evening Standard, coach Arsene Wenger has been made a fan of the powerful striker and would like to see him back up current centre-forward Olivier Giroud at the Emirates Stadium.

The Partenopei, however, have reportedly already offered the Colombian to Sassuolo in exchange for Sime Vrsaljko so the Gunners may have to wait for a decision on the part of the Neroverdi before deciding whether or not to make a formal bid.

Zapata scored eight goals and added two assists in 25 Serie A matches for the Zebrette last season.
