Man Utd, West Ham linked as 2 Prem clubs approach Atalanta for Zapata

Atalanta have contact with two Premier League clubs for star man Duvan Zapata.

Gazzetta dello Sport says there's an understanding between Zapata and Oribici management that he can leave for the right offer this summer.

Two unnamed Premier League clubs are now in contact with Atalanta about a price for the Colombia striker.

Having originally sought €80m to sell Zapata, Atalanta have come down to a more realistic €50m for the goalscorer.

Interestingly before Christmas, Manchester United and West Ham United were linked with Zapata ahead of the January market in the Italian media.

Both English clubs remain eager to find a new striker for their respective squads this summer.

During his time in Serie A, Zapata has played 231 games, scored 92 goals and produced 34 assists with Napoli, Udinese, Sampdoria and Atalanta.
