The agent of Udinese defender Cristian Zapata has confirmed the interest of Arsenal.

"It's natural that a player with Zapata's characteristics is appealing - it would be worrying if there weren't any approaches," agent Daniel Vidal told Udineseblog.it.

"Therefore it's not a mystery that clubs like Milan, Juventus and even Roma have shown an interest. The new name perhaps is Arsenal, but English clubs usually look around a lot."
