QPR set to sign Zapata as West Ham dither

QPR are set to pull off the transfer coup of Estudiantes striker Duvan Zapata.

The London Evening Standard says QPR are closing in on a remarkable £6.4m deal for Estudiantes striker Zapata.

The 22-year-old was also wanted by West Ham United earlier this summer.

They will need to apply for a work permit for the Colombian, who is expected to be part of their World Cup squad next summer and hope one will be granted under the 'special talent' rule.
