According to The Evening Chronicle, Newcastle United are tracking Sampdoria forward Duvan Zapata ahead of this summer’s transfer window.
Zapata is contracted to Sampdoria, but is currently on loan with Atalanta.
A five-time Colombia international, the striker has found the back of the net on 22 occasions in 37 matches in all competitions during the 2018-19 campaign.
When considering that 17 of those strikes have come in Serie A, it would be fair to say that the 27-year-old is enjoying a productive season.
According to The Evening Chronicle, Newcastle have been scouting the attacker, who played under Magpies boss Rafa Benitez at Napoli.
Standing at 6 ft 2, Zapata is a powerful frontman and it will be very interesting to see what happens in this summer’s transfer window.
For now, the Newcastle fans have been on social media offering their views on the potential deal. And a selection of their Twitter reaction, which is mixed, can be seen below:
